The special stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Holiday Tag"
The mini stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Nature's Brushstrokes"
My first card features the large Yin/Yang image. I don't know a whole lot about Chinese philosophy, but I believe the two sides of this image are supposed to complement each other -- and perhaps provide harmony.
On my second card I used the smaller koi fish, drawing in the "waves" of the water.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my idea of treating my part of the blog hop as a different challenge each day -- and that you'll come back and check out tomorrow's challenge. But be sure to check out what the rest of the team has created using today's set. Here's the Design Team:
Patty, Lois (that's me), Jane, Debbie. Pam, Pat, Thrfity Stamper, Marilynn, Karen, Bonnie, Kathy, Angela,
Cathy, Toni, Sue, Janine, An'Jenic, Kate, Shirley, Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.

Love your card-perfect colors and layout! I would love to win this cool set! I have a daughter in China and it would be awesome to make her cards!
Lovely cards - like how the fish mirror the Yin Yang
Super idea! I love the sketch and how you interpreted it for your two cards.
Cool sketch! Beautiful cards! The ribbon on your second one is cute with the bits of polka dot!
Great idea. Lovely job with the sketch.
I always enjoy seeing what lovely cards you have created. Your two cards are stunning!
