That's a neat card by Donna. I love pelicans and am fortunate to live on a lake where they come and feed down here on the far south coast of Australia!

Congrats Donna, you are great at doing the nautical scenes and this one shows us how you do it. Love the combination of background papers and dies. That pelican is so glorious on his pier piling. A great masculine card.

Congrats on being a guest designer. You rule when it comes to making a nautical card. Love the papers and dies and the pelican is just so regal sitting on the pier pile on. Such a great masculine card for Fathers Day.
