My first card for today is a clean and simple one.


I added a few score lines to separate the oriental symbols and the cherry blossoms.

My second card is a side-step card, which is always fun.  I used several of the images from today's set.


In addition I added an oriental coin.

    Pretty MFP Asian creations. The CAS look for the first is wonderful gthe way it is. The coin is a nice added touch. Tried to make a side step card & did not get the cuts correct.
