I haven't decided which card to send to Sharon yet, will think about it. But one will go out to Sharon and one will go to my stash!!
Stamped the gecko and design in VersaMark and embossed with gold ep. Distressed, mounted on Cuttlebugged gold and rust. I think those are southwest colors. Gold gecko and sun on the envelope and VOILA!!

That is the southwestern stamp I wanted - a gecko. I lived in California for a couple of years and we had lots of geckos in the garden so as soon as I saw this challenge that's the first image that came to mind. Love this.

Phyllis, the turquoise, gold and rust look fantastic together. I like the texture on the lizard; it's like he just emerged from the cool sand to catch some rays

Well - I know hibiscus are one of her favourite flowers, but I'd send this one. It really caught my eye when I was looking for inspiration this morning - love the gold, and sandy look and all the great texture.
