Greeting card kind of day

When I started doing individual watercolor Christmas cards a few years ago, I had not idea what they would teach me about painting.
But I'm a slow learner and have trouble translating the brilliant colors and loose  freedom of these cards to larger works. I'm an impatient,  first-born Capricorn, Type AAA detail-oriented journalist after all.
Watercolor tests and humbles me, but that's another reason I love the 5" by 7" cards that I buy in bulk. And they're fun.
And today was a day to paint these greeting cards for special people.
