For the sketch challenge of today! Thanks Roxi for yet another wonderful sketch! I used the MFP sets *Background Fun* as well as *Pears and Hollyhock*. This card took forever to make as I ignored a bee sting I got Monday afternoon and had to go to the emergency room last night as my arm became VERY red and VERY swollen and I have cellulitis and am very lucky I did not continue to ignore the symptoms as it can get into your bloodstream and then you are in BIG TROUBLE as far as I understand.... (Sheesh, what a run along sentence can you tell I am on steroids for my arm???!!!)So I hope anyone reading this will take a bee sting very seriously and avoid all this trouble I got myself into! Please say a prayer that the antibiotics kick in and I will not have to go back for an IV course of them. Thanks for looking and listening, big hugs to one and all!!!
p.s. the colors are much prettier IRL, not garish as in the photo!!!
edit 6:30 p.m. thank goodness for modern medicine my arm is slowly returning to its previous color and size, thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers and be careful out there, I have had bee stings all my life but nothing like this had ever happened.... TFL!

OMGosh, Nancyruth! How awful about the bee sting. I hope you get better real soon. And you still managed to make a beautiful card in spite of being a wounded soldier. What a trooper! Keep us posted.
I like how you colored the pear and love your background.
