This is too pretty to end up in the round file. I really like the tiny flowers, and the washes on the hill are interesting, if subtle. Could be cute bookmarks, if I slice it down the middle.

I started out with a 6 x 6 piece of paper, but I could not get the hill in back to look like it was behind. No matter what I tried it just did not work. Softer. Faded. More grey. Just got worse. Finally I just cropped it digitally. That did the trick. I had fun in the process!
