What a delightful surprise to have these handmade treasures I've shared with you this week, arrive in Florida, all the way from Yokohama, Japan. On the reverse side of this gorgeous Lotus Flower photo is a handwritten birthday message. ... Can you see the tiny gold edging that goes all around the outside? Yoshiyuki, you are a very talented artist and I thank you very, very much for sharing your work with me. Let's hope this 70th year for each of us is a healthy and happy one! Hugs to you and to your lovely wife Gabriela.
I'm learning from your work and your constructive comments; please leave suggestions. Blessings, Judy.
Other work is on Webshots; the link takes you to a collection of ladybugs from around the world.
Happy Birthday, dear Judy. You have received many wonderful presents from Yoshiyuki and Gabriela. Birthday Blessings and Hugs, Carol

@Marion: I'm going to sound like a broken record, but if only you could see the card with your own eyes. Off to work I go........xo
It is gorgeous in detail, color and composition. And happy birthday.
