From Paulette:
 
"One of my favorite Scripture verses is Psalm 118:24, which reads “This is the day which The LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” This design features mountain goats (one is leaping over the potted plant), a butterfly, bees, and a black bird with very tall legs! I had a lot of fun using ultra-bright threads for the sun, capturing the joy I hope this verse gives to you. And if you aren’t fond of stitching words, this design would be just as happy without the verse – although I’d love to suggest you at least write it on the back of the framed piece if you choose to frame it! J (The verse would also make a fun pinkeep for giving to someone who is in a sad season; we all have those!)"
