I feel like I'm making WAY too many sympathy cards this week. It's making me crazy. I loved the Circle Flower and this card confuses me. I don't really know if I like it or hate it but I wanted to try and wonder if you think it could BE a sympathy card. That's why I diecut the branch and made the bird 'invisible'. Because I'm missing someone. Would love your input!!

I really like this card, and I think it works perfectly as a sympathy card. Your background colors work perfectly with your patterned paper. My only suggestion, if I were starting from scratch, would be to use papers with blue in them and have the bird on a blue background, as if it were disappearing into the sky. But really, a lovely concept, well executed.

Your card is beautiful and perfect for a sympathy card!!! I love the colors of the flower and the embossed bird gives the illusion that it is fading away yet still here...great symbolism!!!
