For Mother in pastel



(I keep hoping some techie will visit this site and help me with the uploading problems - my image looks fine in my computer file, and when I upload here it gets all blotchy - especially the edges, and white spaces.)
The verse is from Our Daily Bread Happy Birthday set.  I added some die cut letters, Cheery Lynn branches, flowers from a SandyLion sticker set.  I sponged the Swiss Dot piece -IRL it is lighter toward the center - a result I like with this sponging.

Beautiful Dorothy, great design. Computer issues can drives us nuts I tried and tried to leave you comments last week, with no success.

of course I cant change my name from Terri either. Love computers when they work, but they sure can be frustrating vwhen they don't.
