I saw this print at a doctor's office we've visited, and felt it would make a great card. Please excuse the quality of the photo - it was taken with my cell phone:
I took out several punches and created my own version:
I mimicked the lines of the embossing with my punched black pieces.
Simple card, simple post.
Thanks for joining me!

Love love this, Colleen! This just shows how creative and inspiring you are! I love the embossed white background and the contrast of the images!! BEAUTIFUL!
Now when I go somewhere, I will always remember to look at things in a different way :) PS: My DH is a family doc, I wonder if the painting in his waiting room will inspire someone... :)
Wonderful take on the insp. piece, Colleen! Love the B & W with the touch of sahara.
I need to start looking for the inspiration that surrounds me! You always do a fabulous job finding that inspiration and then transferring it to your own creations. Beautiful card, Colleen!
You are something else!! I haven't taken a picture with my cell in ages! Love the picture and I really really like your card, bird and all. How elegant with the colors, the embossing and that beautiful script BG too!
Ohhh...that's classic creation!!! You really get inspired from your surroundings (not me), lol
Love the writing background :)
Hi Colleen
Oh wow another stunner from you - love the place that you found the inspiration from for this and I just love what you've come up with.

Simply wonderful! You still could play around with it some more with some stamps too with a small bird stamp or something. Fun! Love the touch of the pearl for the eye! I need something more than just inspiration lately! Great job as usual!
