Staying at Gnome -- The Backyard Pool

Some gnomes aren't ready to travel to the beach. However, these gnomes are lucky because they have a beautiful outdoor oasis in the backyard including a fabulous pool, complete with a water fall. If you're wondering, that gnome is not me, except in my dreams.

Here's my card featuring Stampendous' fabulous new Gnome Pool Perfectly Clear Stamp Set.
