Bunches and Bunches of Tulips

Mission accomplished! Friend Mary Lee requested five Easter cards. I really had trouble finding digital images to represent Easter - unless I wanted all goofy looking Easter bunnies. I found one cute bunny with a basket of eggs - the rest....were a little too cartoonish for the direction I wanted to go with the cards. Since I had difficulties finding just the right images (maybe I didn't look far and wide enough) I decided to go with one image for all five cards. The tulips image is from Paper Garden Projects. I've used it before (here) and I really like it.
