Summery Pink Geraniums

"Then followed that beautiful

season... summer. Filled was the air

with a dreamy & magical light;

and the landscape lay as if new...

created in all the freshness

of childhood."
 

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~

Hello again... I've been on a little break!  In my last post, I wrote about

my husband's great-grandmother, and her favorite flower... geraniums.  Since then I've learned her favorite color of geranium was pink!  A little while ago, our family visited Hazel & Kermit's graves and planted a pair of red and pink geraniums in their memory.  My husband paused to share a few stories about her... sweet little things he remembered from his childhood.

She really was a special lady! 

As far as the images, I designed the first for use as a simple note card,

and left it blank so you could personalize it with your own special messages...  I didn't have a particular use in mind for the second image, but thought it turned out so pretty that I included it!  The third image is a stationery page... love the effect of the shadows cast by the flower.  The last image of the geranium is a PNG file, which means it has a transparent background.  I used it in the 3 previous images... have fun with it in your own digital artwork!
