Sunset Giraffe

   I was thinking of the sun set when I made this card. Those sunsets that go from a golden glow, brillant orange, and then a molten red; they just make you stop and stare. I love the giraffe from the critters on the savanna stamp set (from Lawn Fawn.) He was just the thing for this beautiful sunset, but I didn't want him all alone so I added a bird for his friend.

  For my background I used a hand writting patterned paper and some scrap of a tribal looking print in browns. I could just image this as a journal page from a African Safari trip. (The orange and yellow sequins just didn't photograph very well, they are better in person.) I thinking I will contribute this to the  Virginia's View Challenge #7 patterned paper and see what other inspiring projects that every one has there.
