I’m so fortunate to only have a 7 minute commute to work, all on back roads. I have some of the most beautiful Maryland scenery to enjoy to and from work every day. I often see bald eagles, momma deer with their fawns, and fields of sunflowers.
In honor of the sunflowers that will soon be in full bloom, I have a Sunflower Card using a stamp from Simply Stamps.

Since I’m in Maryland, this stamp could also pass as a black eyed Susan, which is our state flower. I also colored it pink and made a beautiful daisy card a few months back. What a versatile stamp.
