I adore hummingbirds - my Mom had so many visit her feeders. Every spring my sister-in-law gave my Mom a fuchsia planter for Mother's Day and it too attracted the hummers. Both my Mom and sister-in-law are gone now but fuchsias and hummingbirds bring them both to mind.
About two years ago I went on a binge of creating digital art with Microsoft Designer - never got most of them made into cards. When I saw this image on Lamps Plus for the Inspiration Challenge a few weeks ago I had to go find this image that I knew I had printed. ( https://www.lampsplus.com/p/fuschia-...as-art__2982r/ )
The card is much brighter in person and the fuchsia blooms are much pinker so I'm adding this to the ABC challenge for H to use hot pink.
Another card for Ronald McDonald House. Thanks for stopping by.

The glow of the hummingbird against those vivid fuchsia blooms is striking, and the Art Deco framing gives the whole piece a polished, almost luminous presentation. The way the colors intensify around the bird really draws the eye and makes the image feel alive.

That's beautiful, I like the geometric art Deco framing lines. Those really fancy fuchsias remind me of the head teacher of the little 3 teacher school I went to. He grew then in his greenhouse, and they were so different from the plain red one we had, the sort that grows wild in the hedgerows. His were so much better for making little ballerinas from. No hummingbirds here, but thanks for the floral flashback.
