Green is my absolute favorite color. I live in the Pacific Northwest where it's quite rainy in the fall and winter months but there's never a shortage of green. Evergreens, perennials, and yes, moss. I fell in love with the beauty of moss long ago; the different textures, the varying colors of dark and light green, and even the smell of it. Did you know that there's even a type of moss that glows in the dark? As campers, we called it Nature's Flashlight. Okay, so wasn't that bright, but it glowed and it was beautiful. This card is a tribute to moss and it's varying hues of yellow and green. I like the shape of the focal design element; in an abstract way, it reminds me of a vine or the way certain types of ground-moss grows, reaching out and covering whatever surface it's on. The background is on dark green mulberry, again, it's fuzzy texture adding a special treat for your fingertips. The card measures 6 1/2" x 5" and includes envelope.
