I love the contrast, the white splatters, the colors of the vase and flower. A splash of brilliant color and outside the box style is as appealing to me as sweet pastels and mossy greens. It's all in the eye of the beholder. You have a beautiful night sky in your Christmas card today, too. Beautifully done, and I think the circle around the moon adds interest.Leslie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242569371751832426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809388745332116591.post-62905189315662731302022-08-17T09:45:07.169+01:002022-08-17T09:45:07.169+01:00It's always fascinating how a dark background ...It's always fascinating how a dark background makes the colors shine.<br />And yet another beautiful Christmas card with an atmospheric landscape scene.

At the time it was called Joseph's Technicolour Dreamcoat. :) The coloured image really pops against the black. You did wonderfully with this technique and your card is really pretty.
