For centuries, the pineapple has be a symbol of welcome and hospitality. According to the article "Symbolism Of The Pineapple" by Beverley L. Pack,
"During early Colonial days in the United States, families would set a fresh pineapple in the center of the table as a colorful centerpiece of the festive meal, especially when visitors joined them in celebration. This symbolized the utmost in welcome and hospitality to the visitor, and the fruit would be served as a special desert after the meal. Often when the visitor spent the night, he was given the bedroom which had the pineapples carved on the bedposts or headboard--even if the bedroom belonged to the head of the household."
How cool is that?
Today, we welcome May Guest Designer, Amy Tsuruta to the blog again by sharing another one of her fun cards.

Today's card combines two new products: You Are My Sunshine stamp set and Stitched Circle Window die set. I love how she incorporated the pineapple images from the Pineapple Of My Eye stamp set. It's so fresh and fun!
A Muse Studio pigment inks are wonderful for layering as Amy did on the pineapples. Our inks are fast-drying and the colors stay true when layered. Give it a try!
Have a crafty day!
