This is gong out to John who is having some health issues. He loves to sail so I broke out this old stamp I had forgotten about. The sunglasses do have reflective lenses...they didn't photograph well. I think he'll get a kick out of this.
Note: I actually "met" John over zoom when chatting with Sue one time.

Great uplifting card for John ... yes, I feel sure he'll get a big kick of your wonderful design (those sunglasses are so perfect) and I love the image you added to his envelope, too!

Polly, my friend, this is a wonderful image and beautifully colored! The sunglasses made me smile. I am always in awe of your use of patterned papers and the cool layouts you do with them. (I tried today but didn't quite get the look I hoped for - still better than usual for me . . .lol)

It's always amazing to me how patterns and colors can evoke a feeling that don't seem to fit -- but your choices here definitely scream a fun day at the beach. Of course, that gorgeous beach in the focal point did point me in the right direction; but still it's your colors and patterns and embellishments that make this beachey keen. This is just so uplifting and fun. Love your coloring of the image. Super job. Super card.

Polly - you have created the perfect day to be out sailing. So many memories for Sue and John. Yes you will definitely need those sunnies in the lovely bright sunshine on the water.
