Just because ...

Week 48 in my
Mellow Kraft
Journal
.


The last journal prompt
from France Papillon
on this month's theme of
colour
was
rainbow.


I used a photograph
I took in September
of a double rainbow
from my back garden.


I have used patterned paper
from Glenda Waterworth &
Brenda Walton's Brianna
patterned paper
from K & Company.


There is a raven image
from the Graphics Fairy,
photo corners by Paperchase
& printed text.
