Ok, I know those flowers probably aren't daffodils, but I decided to pretend like they were and colored them yellow anyway for Marian. My coloring skills are about as weak as my flower gardening skills so I tried to keep the image simple.
Our teapot destination this week is Lake Mills, WI where Marian is recovering from broken bones in each leg, her second rehab stay after she had also broken both legs two years ago! Marian is soon to be 83 and her spirit needs some lifting as therapy this time around doesn't seem to be progressing as fast as she would like. Some of her favorite things are daffodils, ladybugs, dark chocolate, coffee, and apple themed items. The Teapot Tuesday link is here if anyone would like to send her a card.

I love how your colors pop in this sea of pretty white papers! Lovely apples and pretend daffodils! I thought I wouldn't be able to play cuz I didn't think I had any daffodils....then I remembered. Some of the others have improvised also~

Beautiful!! You had the perfect image!! Your flowers look like daffodils to me and your coloring is fantastic! And my coloring is not so hot, that's why I use die cuts and do embroidery!

If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed that the leaves aren't daffodil leaves - the flowers certainly look like daffs. I love the embossed white background too.
