a banquet of goodness

I seldom remember to take pictures of cards I make, or pictures I paint.
This card was made a few years back for a fiftieth anniversary. I'm glad I did snap a picture of it because it reminds me of the occasion, reminds me of the couple themselves.
In a funny way, it also reminds me of passing time, of fifty years as was befitting the occasion.
Don't the feathers look a little worn and wispy around the edges? Not unlike the flowers and the grass.
But the birds look like such good friends I think. They are staying within pecking range and are happily surrounded by a banquet of goodness.
