Of course summertime means gardening to me! My garden is looking very raggedy aroung now, but I leave the dying echinacea and other flowers because they feed so many wonderful birds! Every end of summer I get the most delightful pair of goldfinches, and it is always a thrill for me to spy them though they move so quickly I have never been able to snap a photo of the beauties! And the other little birds love munching on those seed as well! Thanks for looking!

What a creative and pretty card!!! I like that cb folder embossed in the white. What a neat way to show off your center image. I love the gardening and bird watching too. I think the male cardinals are pretty difficult to snap pictures of.

I just love what you did with the embossing on this, NancyRuth.
I miss goldfinches so much. In our last house we could have up to a dozen perched on the washing line waiting to get at the feeder. I've not even seen one in the garden here :-(.

What a cool design idea for that embossing folder, Nancy! And what is that subtle grassy texture I see in the background? We are fortunate to have Goldfinches year-round at our feeder, and they are my hubby's favorite. TFS. Linda
