    Elizabeth,
    What a beautiful card...I love the softness to the bird. I can see him nestled in those branches as if he was right outside my window...Very realistic. Love the embellishments too!
    Hugs,
    Georgia

    Wow, this is outstanding!!! How lovely your watercoloring is! I have blue jays visit me every day, letting me know when the tray of peanuts that I feed them is empty!
