The sketch for today featured circles. I even went further by adding a coin charm rather than the rectangular "sentiment" panel. I was inspired to do an Asian card by the magnificent Chinese Lantern Festival that is being held at the Missouri Botanical Garden this summer. At night, it is breath-taking.

Added note: Some of you have expressed interest in the Festival. Thought you might like to see photos of 2 of the 26 lanterns. They are all very large scale. HERE is a link to one of my favorites. At night the dragons' heads move and blow smoke while the ball turns in the middle. Another FAVORITE looks like thousands of precious gems...there is a matching dragon on the other side.

Gorgeous take on the sketch, Sallie...I love east Asian themes and this is wonderful. Thanks for the info on the festival. We are visiting my son in Arkansas next month and are coming through St. Louis...I think that we need to see this! Hugz.
