Every morning I pass a large pond surrounded by large trees. I can see the sun just peeking over the horizon and the black of night lifting off the ground. That was the inspiration for the background for the card. I couldn't get the trees right so I substituted Upsy Daisy.
Beginner lesson: when you have it just right, DON'T add any more...I pushed the envelope with Not Quite Navy and got splotches rather than shadows. Oh well, next time.
