I think Nancy's notions sells the magnifier. They've been around for 25 years.

I like #5. The green swirls appear as pond water with reflections of the blue sky. The herons pop against it and their heads are clearly visible. Too pretty an applique to lose in the background.

I like the first one, the yellowish green really makes the birds pop.

I like #5 and I think the magnifier came from Home Sew. Love the pup.

I like 5 and 1 both make the Heron jump out. Love your fur baby.

I like the first and last pics. That fur baby is adorable.

I love 5. It feels like water reflecting a natural green surrounding. The small circlets look like a gentle rain on the water, where the birds would be feeding.

My favorite is 3 but like 5 too!!
