    I have added my cards for April under the NING site. I thought I would have more trouble doing pastel colors, but I had a lot of fun doing them.

    The DT cards are brilliant inspiration. It's good to get away from the "norm" once in a while.
    My thanks to the admin team for accepting my request to join such a creative lot.
