Hello all,
Today is MY National Day of the Robin!! Heehee! How could I resist with a name like this!
I chose a 20 year old stamp from PSX...sure glad I didn't give THIS one away! I did give a lot of my stamps away 10 or 15 years ago before I knew that those companies would no longer be around...I could kick myself!
They had such beautiful realistic stamp images and most of you know that for the most part I'm a realist art wise.
I decided on my daisies to get a little wild with my color though sort of like a painting I saw (artistic license, right?).
Thanks for looking!

Well, I sure agree with Francie that an octopus would have been suitable with all the amazing, beautiful, detailed cards you manage to create. But what could be more perfect than an American Robin!

Robin, this should be made into a postage stamp!! Your coloring of your regal Robin & gallardia flowers is magnificent and the framing is perfect! The details are spectacular!!

Oh, Robin, this is amazing! I LOVE it and love you! You are our American Robin, and we celebrate you today! Your coloring is fabulous, and what a great layout with the dies and shapes. Beautifully done! Yes, don't we wish we had so many of these PSX and other real classic stamps? But you've used this one so beautifully, precious friend! You are loved!! Hugs! xoxo
