I have had this stamp for years, and have not used it yet on any of my many Christmas cards I have done this season, so the bird challenge seemed best suited.
My peace came this week watching all the services for George H.W. Bush. Seeing so many in our area gather to pay their last respects for this kind and faithful man did my heart good. I was stranded all week because of depressing car repairs, so it was comforting to watch this outpouring of love. I wish it were something we learn to experience everyday.

hear hear, even if one didn't agree with his politics, all can agree that he was a good man. I read a book about the White House staff and by far, they loved Barbara Bush the most. She was a real person for them....i'm sorry about your depressing car issues. I took my car in for an oil change last week, needed a battery, plugs, winterizing of course. $400 later......arghghghghg.
Anyway, your card....beautiful! I love birds on cards. Usually when I screw up, I stick a gem or sequin on.
