It is time for another A Day For Daisies Challenge on the A Day For Daisies Blog!

Here is my card:

This week we have an inspiration piece:

I love fall, especially fall trees!

I would love to be the little girl in the image: Tree Top Dreams

She is so comfortable in the branches, talking with the birds.  I think she comes up this tree often!

You are going to love what my fellow design team members had made, too!
Please check each of them out... especially that last name. ;)
