“Flowers are a traditional way to express sympathy.”
Originally the use of flowers was more practical in nature. Flowers smell wonderful and helped to mask the smell of decay. When embalming came along masking the smell was no longer necessary so flowers became more symbolic than practical. For me they are a bright and cheerful backdrop to such a sorrowful occasion. I really love that so many people re-purpose the flowers into beautiful bouquets for the elderly confined in nursing homes to enjoy.
I received this card as a convention swap from Sandy Carlson. It is simple and pretty. I think I might switch the color layers on this card, too.
