Flutter by

When I was a child I would call a butterfly a "flutter by". I still do as a matter of fact. It seems a perfectly good description of what they do.

I've always been intrigued by butterflies. I think it's the ability to change from one thing into something so very different. I took this picture on a trip in Algonquin Park in 2004. It's hard to get picture of a butterfly with it's wings spread because in a blink of an eye they've spread their wings and gone.


I love layouts that I can use for more than one challenge. This layout was created to play along with the Scrapmuch? October Colour Challenge and for the Let's Get Sketchy October 6, 2014 Sketch Challenge.

 
 
The layout didn't need a lot of embellishment. I found the background paper added a lot of texture to the page. To finish I only needed to add a few complimentary coloured roses, metal butterflies in simulated flight and an appropriate saying. What is more true of a butterfly than change?
