Out of the darkness springs hope. As I watched the catastrophic images on 911, and all the days that followed, breath taking, heart stopping scenes of heroism, self sacrifice, and the power of human spirit blotted out the darker images of evil. For the F4A290 to show hopeful change, I have a black bg covered with a kelidascope of bright images. For Lydia's mixed media challenge, I added colorful stars with stripes. Finally, for the CT0815, there are perfect pearl dots everywhere. It is a day for random acts of kindness... let someone with more groceries go ahead of you, smile at everyone and wish them well, and drop the cards from your stash at a local senior center or nursing home. TFL, Francie

Wow, Francie - there's so much texture in those little panels, they look just amazing. And so striking against the black background. The colours in this just sing to me - it's started raining here and the sky is grey as far as I can see.
