What a lovely garden on your card Carol - with the spotlight on the beautiful iris! Pretty circle and zig zag stampings in the black ink on each side as well! Julia xx

Such a striking interpretation of the challenge theme. The iris takes center stage beautifully, and the green, blue, and lilac palette gives it a calm, elegant presence. The circle framing and the subtle patterned paper add just the right structure without overwhelming the focal image. The card you received is a lovely complement as well, and it is fun to see how differently everyone approaches the same prompt.

Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year. Thank you for all your words of encouragement on my blog this year. It is so very much appreciated.
