Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Easter

Eggs really have nothing to do with Easter. However, I wanted to show off an egg-shaped Easter card made by my great-grandmother's half sister, close to 100 years ago (more or less, not sure). This is my entry for Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Easter.

Now for the real story as taken from Matthew 28 in The Message, a modern version of the Bible:

The angel spoke to the women: "There is nothing to fear here. I know you're looking for Jesus, the One they nailed to the cross. He is not here. He was raised, just as he said. Come and look at the place where he was placed. Now, get on your way quickly and tell his disciples, 'He is risen from the dead...'"

    Beautiful family memento. Thank you for the bible quotation too. Also, thank you for the advice re crows'nests. The blighters are building a second one after the first was knocked out of the tree. We will be busy again tomorrow knocking the second one out. I wish they would relocate!

    Hi Fay, no my cat was really almost 22 years old. She is gone for many years but I think of her almost every day. She was very special and so long part of our family.
    Thanks for your lovely comment.
    Nice days and lovely greet.
    Marja
