Bloom With Thankfulness

 

4 challenges inspired today's card...

Alphabet Challenge // 06MAR26 ...An ABC challenge!!  W is for WILDFLOWER!!  I think sunflowers count as a wildflower.  Even though I have tried to plant them from seeds I think they do better popping up in the wild in their native areas.

Ellibelle's Garden Party // #13 ...An "anything found in the garden" challenge!!  Sunflowers...I love the pop of color they bring to our vegetable garden!!
