An anniversary card for Denny, my very best friend! I had so much fun using the colors that have been swimming in my head since our fall vacation to the mts. and Red Rock country in So. Utah. We both love trees and these colors. Thanks to cwilliams for the scalloped circle that she sent me and to labullard and carole richardson, who had such inspiring oak tree cards. I was really trying for the fall glow effect and was pleased with the results. I used gamsol blending on the tree and circle. Thanks for Looking, Nancy

What a gorgeous card -- I love your center image -- the tree is beautiful, but the b/g of the tree is fanastic looking -- you definitely got the *glow* you were after -- fantastic colors/ribbon and love that turned up corner -- what a beauty!!!
Mom,
This is a stunning card! The colors, the layout, the patterned paper come together very nicely. I, too, like the little fold on the bottom corner. Dad will love this!

Oh Nancy, there are so many wonderful details to enjoy on this card! The tree is colored beautifully (fall glow, indeed!) and I really like how you cut it out and put it on dimensionals. The sponging on the backgrounds adds so much dimension, and I love that little turned up corner with the cut out pinecones. And all in your wonderful earthy colors. Denny is going to love this. TFS.
