A leafy Happy New Year-it's just a fraction...

Some catching up with last month's challenges at 365 cards,so I took day 277 -just a fraction. at first, I didn't like this challenge at all. I just couldn't find the

right image I'd like to take for this challenge, and so I gave up. I guess my mojo waited for the right moment to reveal, and today it was that moment (actually - last night...( I took the image from simple doodles, its one of the freebies there, among lovely others.

I love the frame, I think it adds a lot to the image, more than just matting the image. I have a few die cuts frames and everytime I use them, I see how good it works. I inked it a little with a brown ink, and also did it with a blue ink to the sentiment.

I must say that I wouldn't go for this color combo first place, but I do love what came out.

and 'this one goes out to the one I love', who loves so much the orange color :)
