Another try

Remember when I showed you my Thanksgiving cards and said that I had another idea I was going to try? No? Oh well, it really wasn't that memorable of a statement anyway :)
But it did give me something to blog about today. Mainly I wasn't pleased with the last 2 cards because of the lack of color. This time I chose more fall like colors and used my own photos. I also went with a larger card because sometimes bigger is better.
So what do you think of these?

This first one isn't actually finished, or then again maybe it is. I was thinking about putting something in the blank space next to the picture but haven't decided what yet.

This one didn't need anything else.

    The colors are so rich! I think the first one needs a word or something.

    The second one is spot-on Ann. Spot-on!

    Have a terrific day. My best to Duke. :)

    I'd frame the 2nd one and the first one could have some words on like Thinking of you or Just a note or something. Both are really nice!

    The first design would make for a great series of Duke cards. For you could replace the flower with a picture of him, and then use the blank space to convey his greeting or maybe a thought for the day. No, one can never get too much of Duke.

    Brilliant, Ann - bright colours do it every time! Maybe on the first one you could quill a matching red daisy to go in the space?

    They are beautiful and I don't know what size they actually are but for sure, more color is better.

    So pretty. Are you giving me a giant hint that you want to use a picture of me in a turkey suit in the blank one? I will have to contact my agent to see if this is a possibility.

    I love the first one Ann...I always love a card which you can personalise just a little bit more. They are both excellent though!!

    Pumpkin and I agree that the second one is awesome! Bubba seems to disagree. Something about a blank space that would be appropriate to write a little loving thoughts about Duke. So he chooses the first one for that reason.
