I have used a couple of papers from paper pads.  The image is from Le'Ann's World.

Beccy's Place - July Challenge
https://beccysplace.blogspot.com/2023/07/july-challenge.html

I have used a digital paper, two images and a sentiment from Beccy's Place.

Deep Into That Darkness

I was inspired by the sentiment to put the image on a separate tag so that it comes up from "Deep Into the Darkness".  Some times my mind goes to interesting places with images and/or sentiments and this was one of those times.

You make the world a better place
