ReplyDeletehehe! I went to the voting round and registered. Looked at all the cards without scrolling down to see who the designer was(wanted it to be "blind")and guess who's card I voted for...? I love this card on so many levels. I love the black and white because I think it represents a lot and being so small against the big pink banner of hope-kind of chokes me up a little. Super fantastic outstanding job!!
