Okay...I want to be vacationing in that beach cottage and sitting in that chair right about now! This is gorgeous, Cathy. Thanks for a great challenge.

What a wonderful card, Cathy. Your scene outside your beach house is so beautifully colored. I love the seashells you added to the sill, like the occupant had been collecting them from walks on the beach.

LOVE this card! The window scene is so wonderful! I love the images and coloring and colors and the details like fiber (is that cheesecloth???) and teeny shells. Such a GREAT card!
This is my favorite in this challenge gallery. It reminds me of being on vacation with my sisters and staying in a house on the beach. What a gorgeous view you created out your window.
