Green

Hello! The theme is GREEN at Take a Word to mark St. Patrick's Day. As I'm not familiarized to the date, I did something personal and added a Leprechaun hanging from a shamrock vine :) .

On the left is my mother, when she was 16 or so, in a B&W photo that was painted afterwards (something common those days), on the right is me, probably when I was 17, in a very poor shot. Coincidently, they are alike in some ways, so I put them together.

Backgrounds: Buzillo Stock (deviantArt) and Beth Rimmer; leprechaun and shamrocks: Google Images.

  1. A beautiful card Christine with two very lovely ladies and one sneaky leprechaun. You can celebrate St. Patrick's Day it's like a mini carnival with green beer!!

  2. Christine, I love your green artpiece. It is so beautiful and rich in textures and colour. The leprechaun is hilarious, especially as he is hanging upside down. I love the photos of you and your sister.
    (St Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and there are many legends about his life there including one that he drove the snakes out of Ireland!! Irish people love telling "tall" stories).

  7. Your mother and you at the same age--how special is that! You do look alike! I expect that leprechaun just popped in to bring you luck.
