BUTTERFLY TREE CARD
i noticed that when creating a card the roots of the tree on the bottom get totally cut off…
therefore i added a framed version, which looks like this (click on the image to preview as card):

  • Chase Ankeny

    Chase Ankeny, 4 months ago

    Very nice. I actually like the card with the butterflies flying off the edge much better, it is much more open and in many ways, I think, better captures the playful and almost ephemeral nature of the work a bit better.

  • Karen Cook

    Karen Cook, 4 months ago

    This is so lovely – it’s balanced really well with the large branch on the left and the little one on the right. I also like the minimalist colour and the butterflies that are subtlely placed around the image!
