Happy Australia Day, to all our "Down Under" friends.
I went with "flora" rather than "fauna" for this card. This represents the beautiful rainforests that are in the northeast region of this continent. Rainforests have many varieties of large broad-leafed plants.

Love where your imagination took you with this challenge, Sallie! Things that are obvious to the eye when it can see them, are not always obvious to the imagination, so this is like a wonderful creative explosion that make me say "but, OF COURSE!!" Love it!

Gasp! What a truly stunning card this is Sallie, and so lovely for a thinking of you card and to celebrate the beautiful rain forests in Australia. Green is my favorite color and you have showcased it in an amazing way with these gorgeous leaves and lovely composition. The gray border is an unexpected surprise that I love. Hugs! ~Karen.

Yes - you got the jungle just right. Reminds me of the rainforest up around Cairns in Far North Queensland - with all the fan palms. You have captured the light and shade of the forest so well.
