Strikingly beautiful card, Carlene. There is a simple drama to it with the rolling surf and lone Adirondack chair with its weathered appearance. Sure that your husband loved it!

Oh, Carlene, this is gorgeous, and I really love how you've captured the ocean scene! I love the Adirondack chair especially, and I live in South Florida and can attest to a very realistic ocean and especially the sand with the sea grass. I absolutely love it! Hugs!
