Today's Inspiration Challenge site was quite interesting -- Ruth Bleakley Flickr Portfolio, which was filled with lots of lovely handmade journals. I went all the way to the last page of the journals to find her Fish Pond Book for my inspiration. I did add a lotus blossom to my pond.

Awesome card Lois, I really love how you used the burlap to frame your koi pond...It adds the perfect texture.... I have 2 pieces of burlap cardstock and I'm hoarding it...

I love that burlap..........such a juxtaposition to the smooth fish! I almost did a koi....now I'm glad I didn't. Your card is wonderful, Lois!
