Loved & Missed

Finnegan was the beloved cat of my dear friend and stamping buddy, Carol and her husband Gene.  His legendary nine lives finally ran out and the loss has been hard . . .

The foliage in the large vase is cattails, which I thought was an appropriate choice.  They are backed with small blobs of Glossy Accents which give them invisible support and dimension. 

Finnegan is looking out at a new day full of freedom, good health, and plenty of butterflies to chase.  May he never catch them but always have fun trying . . .
