Oh, I'm so late to this party but I arrived just the same...cowpoke and all. Pat Smethers is going to turn me into a cowgirl. I love all her cowboy and western cards. I'm so glad to see Pat honored as Queen. There is not a kinder person to be found.

Yikes, Benzi, I think Pat's definitely moving you over to the other side. This is so rugged and masculine. Looks like you had all the right papers for this card. It's really great.

My cowboy hat is off to you on this one BENZ!! My gosh, you totally captured the "feel" of Pat's masculine western cards. I'm in awe of the details you used to capture this theme. The image, of course, the crocodile paper for the framing and that b/g paper with the horses. I mean how much better can it get than this. You did good my friend. Oh, and I LOVE your hemp and brad treatment, coloring and I see you did use Nesties and the scallop punch for the clouds to remain in good standing with The Punchkateerz!! Way 2 go!! TFS!
