Some people think of pastel colors for spring, but my backyard explodes with vibrant, bright, intense colors for spring. This is a sidestep card that I made for my son's 24th birthday. The bg behind the fish is acrylic paint applied with paper towel which gives it a nice texture. The dots in the water are made with a silver metallic pen so they sparkle. I miss being on split coast more often and always am overjoyed when I actually have the time to make a card and post it. TFL, Francie

Oh, the background behind the fish is so cool, Francie. I love the rainbow colours and the texture from your paper towel The fish is pretty amazing too - like some enamel work.
