I received these images on the image PIF thread. And ever since I got them, I've been wanting to make a "Welcome to Holland" card. For those of you not familiar with it, it is about the challenges of raising a child with disabilities.
Please visit my blog for the full poem and my story of Holland.
I loved the colors for the CC today. I wanted to make the tulips look like the two colored ones where the red is veining through the apricot. Not sure I was very successful with that.

Went onto your blog and read your beautiful story. The card and its meaning for you are very special. Anyone who has not read it should do so. You made a great use of the color combo today - it's perfect for your Holland card. All the best to you and your son.
