Lighthouse

Todays share has been made for one of the girls at work, who was 60 last week. All I knew was she likes the seaside & gardening lol....she loved the end result & is putting it in a frame in her bedroom.
I made it for the latest challenge over at Inspiration Destination, where as always the theme is

The "porthole" you created is so awesome! The cloud embossing is a great background and the flowers are gorgeous.
