My eldest daughter, Heather, and I have joyously reconnected after a rather long period of tension and estrangement, and her birthday has arrived at a most opportune time to renew my card tradition with her.

Heather has been living in the breathtaking town of South Lake Tahoe for the last year or so, and has been inspired and become passionate about nature, hiking, camping, painting, and photography, among other things, so I used some of these elements as inspiration for her card.  She actually has a pair of bright red hiking boots, and the dots are an ode to one of her favorite design elements.
