I was inspired to do “Cardinals Appear” in honor of my dear mom who passed in December of 2020. I can’t recall when but remember her saying this when I was a young girl. It kind of stuck with me at the time, but I had totally forgotten about it until reading this little ditty online a short time ago. It rekindled my memory, and I knew I just had to design something with it.
