"Afternoon on a Hill"

This card didn't come out the way I had intended (that happens to me quite a lot). I made the background of the card from the newspaper using a headline to do with Pakistan, at the bottom I added a small photo of Japan and suddenly it seemed so sad, so heavy that I decided it needed hope.  What is more hopeful than the coming of spring?  Grey trees with new buds, flowers beginning to bloom, bulbs bursting with color... This wasn't a card intended for Edna St. Vincent Millay, instead, somehow, she was intended for this card.  It's a dear little poem on the petals, "I will be the gladdest thing under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one."
