I never realized it was embroidered until I took a third look. It’s a pic of the guardian angel and the two children. I love what you did to the cards. Fantastic idea; your mind is always thinking. Lately for me I've been thinking more about my son's college choices and my hospitals tests but this is great for stress relief. Lovely crafts as usual.<br /><br />Annabelle ~^..^~ xoAnnabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866075790514568788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-7241953716840082922007-01-26T00:16:00.000+00:002007-01-26T00:16:00.000+00:00How clever of you!

These were ones that I had picked up at flea markets for very little money.<br /><br />Nancy Jo, yes indeed they are regular sized postcards and the flowers are really teeny-tiny!
