Your card is really pretty. Funny thing is I never even noticed the stamp set when I went through the catalog and I like trees too.

When I first saw this stamp set, I thought, I don’t want this., What am I going to do with this? But the good people in stamping land have shown me why I do want this set. So a big Thank YOU!
