The Top Pick for the challenge is this card created by Kate Dykstra of the blog Small Bits of Paper!

Gardening Phoebe is set against a half circle with the sun shining down.  The coloring of all the stamps is the first thing that caught our eye, with texture added to the grass and hat.   Notice the coloring on the circle too, with just a bit of yellow on the sun side to represent rays of sun.   This card is definitely full of sunshine and smiles.
