I choose the grunge cross to represent Jesus dying on the cross so that we might live, the two step butterfly to represent new life, and the letters LOVE, to represent His love for us!
The Letters LOVE is from the Set called God's Love.
Which I cut out and put on crystal effects to make it stand out more.

Jan, I love to see how you express God's love for us, and especially this weekend, when we remember His suffering in love for us. Love the symbolism of new life in the butterfly, and thankful for the freedom He gives us. Beautiful in many ways Sister! LYMI

OH, Jan, love the symbolism shown in this card - how the cross brings us into new life through His Love!! From the darkness of the concord crush, to the brilliance of the daffodil yellow - such deep feeling you were able to convert to paper! Awesome work, Sister!!
