I made this card for a new neighbor who is moving into the house across the street from me this month.  
The Pineapple is a symbol of  welcome that dates back to Colonial days.  It was a prominent decoration on many New England area homes where I grew up and spent most of my life.

My Card ~
On the background  of my watercolor paper, I added Tim Holtz Distress Stains in a brushstroke fashion.  Three pineapples were stamped on top in black ink.  I colored and Sparkled (Wink of Stella) two more pineapples then fussy cut them to be popped up on the face of my card.  

PS:  I thought my card needed a little something more (because I can never leave it be!) so I went back with  a few sequins and that seemed to help ;-)            

What do you think?
