WT399 Gull Birthday

Photo Details

Poster: Oddesigns

For WT399 - No Fall Colors. I needed a birthday card for a friend who loves the ocean, but wanted to do something a little different that the usual beach scenes.

I actually case'd this one almost exactly from a Michelle Zindorf tutorial (http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststamp...tutorial-428/), I've been doing a lot of that lately. Not sure my inspiration is just having trouble on its own or what.

I turned my bird into a Herring Gull, a common gull around here, complete with red spot on the beak.
