Violet


 A sprinkling of old-fashioned violets from my  neighbours garden. 

Backdrop: a packaging box turned on its side with a sheet of  12 x 12 textured cardstock taped to the base    

Finale: Text, Albermarle Swash, and an added a touch of Vintage Findings - Cheesecloth texture around the outer edges.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
