My friend Mary Lee requested a couple of cards. Reflecting on the arrival of a new grandson (grandchild number 5) she wanted cards to "address the ambivalence associated with becoming a sibling". Now THAT is a challenge! I had to mull this one over for a bit and then remembered seeing these images over at Mo Manning's Digital Pencil Too. Mo and Pay Pal to the rescue - I love the instant gratification of digital images! Not to mention the gazillions of choices! I used the same layout for both.

Wonderful, wonderful! Arianna's logn dark hair and brother Eli's blonde hair are both perfect and Masoud and his little brother Soheil are most winsome. Their mothers (the true intendeds for these cards) will love these. You scored twice!!!! I wonder if I will be able to give them up.
