With Sympathy

Today I woke up to sunshine and blue skies and wonderful warm.  So, instead of getting my chores done first thing, I decided to make a card for the current Pals Paper Arts Challenge.  I figured the dusting and vacuuming could wait an hour or two.

One of the services I volunteered for, here at the place where I live, is giving or sending cards to those who live here, whether it's their birthday, a get well wish or an expression of sympathy to family members who have lost their loved one.  I keep plenty of birthday cards on hand as those are the ones I go through the quickest.  Today, I made a sympathy card, not because I needed it today but because I thought the colors from the challenge would make a very nice card.  What do you think?
