I have admired all the postcards that Sheila has made and the ones she has received from exchanges. When she put out the call for a new Spring time swap I signed up real fast. Wild Violets was the first thing that came to my mind. In my area they are one of the first flowers to bloom besides daffodils. In this photo you can also see dandelions.
So I went online to find some clip art of some violets. Here is my rendition of the a wild violet. I had some issues with some puckering but I think it still turned out pretty cute for my first swap.

Two very nice postcards Carrie! Good idea with hunting via clipart I must remember that source.
Your postcard and Deborah's are beautiful. I joined Sheila's postcard exchange too, and think it's a great experience.
Cute, cute, cute!! Love both of them!!! Your violet is so very cheerful!!

Wonderful postcards, I like the idea of doing flowers and there are lots of free coloring pages that would be perfect for postcards.
