CC: Alphabet Challenge Series Postcard: A

This is going to be the first of what I hope will become a popular series of swaps through the alphabet.

Create a background on your postcard with paint, papers, doodles, whatever you choose. You may even opt for a white background. Just to be clear, the background does not HAVE to follow the letter, but if you choose to do so, that is totally up to you. :)

Over your background create a collage of images or things that begin with the letter "A". Only things that begin with "A" are allowed. You may even use the letter A itself but this is not required.

Rules that will be required through the whole series:

Anything that is a part of the body of the collage ( in other words, not the background) must begin with or represent the letter the swap is based on. Coloured pieces of paper may be used in the body of the collage that correspond with the letter the swap is based on. Emerald green may be used in either E for emerald or G for green. For items that are not obvious what they represent, please state in your note to your partner on the back of your card. This may apply to some of the coloured pieces of paper for instance. This is a "collage" group and all swaps are paper collage based.

Do your best work and send something you'd be happy to receive! The size of your postcard should be a minimum of 4 x 6. Maximum size is restricted only by what you want to spend on postage. :)

Last but not least... Have fun!!

Edited to allow more time to sign up and more time to send. :)
