Today, Bonnie asked us to show Darla the dragonfly and her daughter some of the beauty of the world, because dragonflies don't have long lives and really don't get to see all the world has to offer. Here, Darla and her daughter are flying thru a field of ferns.
No story with the card today, but I understand how Darla feels -- my stepmother died recently and my dad's health has gone downhill, and mortality is seeming a lot more real to me.

What a beautiful card. The colors are so soothing, and the layout is just lovely. I'm sorry you are going through a rough patch. As my grandmother always told me, "this too shall pass". Sending you hugs.

Wonderful card! I love the colors you chose and the ribbon you used. All your other details really add up to give the perfect touch, especially the pierced path behind the dragonflies!
