Thank you RR for another fantastic 'Free Sunday'. Another new week brings on more new challenges. I selected 'Valentine Cards'; but would like to open this up to any type of card; or photos that you may have that you feel would be great on a card.

The link provides a step by step instruction when using Photoshop and may be helpful to some.

Mine are more of a simple nature. For cards I use images that I have shot; and sometimes use the picture tubes and images found on my PP software or from some of the free software that is out there.

Have fun with this and let's see what you have for us.

Irene what a great start on cards. Not sure if you would use this as a card or not, but did try out using some of the effects on my program and am learning more about it

Thanks for hosting, Irene. Here are a few of my cards.
While everyone else is celebrating Valentine's Day, we are celebrating Mardi Gras, so I included that. Also thought you might like to see my favorite birthday card. The buzzard was a fun shoot.

I have created my Valentine Card as if it were from Mother Nature. Nature is such an amazing, wonderful source of creative beauty!I was totally disbelieving and absolutely delighted when I found a Calico Pennant Dragonlyfly in June 2008.

As you can see from the photo this dragonfly had red heart shaped designs on its abdomen! So Mother Nature you have my absolute respect and love!
