Happy Saturday! Any Friday night that I can participate in the Inspiration Challenge makes a great start to the weekend. Thanks Step for the early post.
I chose this "heart II" artwork as my inspiration: http://www.doubletakeart.com/cgi-bin...611&o=d&cc=dtg
Although some of the inspiration came from the style of gentle waves and beautiful swirls; and black, white and red found in Erte's work.

Gorgeous heart Marilyn. It's amazing on how many different hearts shapes there are out there in the stamp world. I love this one and the cb you used too. Fine inspiration there, love the trio of bead in the heart too. TFS
