Ode to Butterflies

I was a bit stumped with Wednesday's challenges this week. The colors at Color Throwdown were a bit unusual. And the sketch from Freshly Made left everything to the imagination. But after I slept on it I came up with this:

And this little guy was my inspiration:

We raised him from an egg and let him go last week. He had a buddy, but the poor guy drowned after falling into the water. That's when my hubby covered the jar with the foil. I didn't get a pic of him with his wings spread apart, but it was so majestic!

Challenges:
Color Throwdown - Green, Orange, Black
Freshly Made -Sketch
Word Art Wednesday - I included a scripture about trusting God
Simon Says - Back to school (This would make a great encouragement card for a student going back to school)
