I wanted to do something using gold circles for Polly's MIX challenge, so I used the cap from a sharpie dipped in gold paint to add circles to this dylusion sprey bg. This is the only image I have even remotely related to games. I used to make cards at 2am with Dolly the insomniac dog. Georgia, the ginormous German Shepherd, does not have insomnia, but she does not like the confused racoon that occasionally wanders into my yard. I bolted out of bed at 3am in response to some rather loud barking and was unable to go back to sleep with my heart racing and my head pounding. On the bright side, I got to make a card. TFL, Francie

This is wonderful! What a beautiful playing card image. And what a lovely background before you added the gold circles, gorgeous with them added. I hope that the colouring calmed your pounding heart, which is no fun.

Oh my gosh, this is absolutely fabulous!!!! I love the bright colors and your terrific design. I like that you also didn't seem to think so hard on the metallic circles and having them dominate your card. You really know how to create a MIX card!! :>)

What a fantastic card - as always I just love your bright splashes of colour. What a great idea to create your little gold rings and the layers of playing cards look great as a background too.
