Waiting for Irene

I am here just waiting for Hurricane Irene to come and decided to share a card.  It helped to take my mind off of things.  I am really worried!  The worst is not suppose to hit us until early Sunday.

The scale of kite to tail did not look right to me when I first made the card.  Here is the card when I originally finished it. 

So I took the kite off the card and added the a slightly larger backing to it.  Let me know what you think.

Much better!  Have a great rest of the weekend and be safe everyone!
