YO HO!!! "Seeking Flint's Treasure"

 "Seeking Flint's Treasure" 

A Treasure Island Card

Hello everyone!   It is beginning to warm up and spring is  in the air!  Yay!  We love spring and look forward to the sunshine and warmer weather. The flowers and garden! Can't wait! 

I was very inspired by Lawn Fawn's Challenge (link at the end of the post) -Inspired by a book, movie or song. There are so many great options that I think the hardest part was picking just four!!!!!! I did multiple cards, too many to enter into the challenge but I just couldn't stop! It was so much fun! I could only enter in a few so I picked the ones I liked best. There is a link for the similar one I entered at the end of the post. 

What better then treasure, “That was Flint's treasure that we had come so far to seek, and that had cost already the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. How many it had cost in the amassing, what blood and sorrow, what good ships scuttled on the deep, what brave men walking the plank blindfold, what shot of cannon, what shame and lies and cruelty, perhaps no man alive could tell.” ― Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island

May you Find the treasure you seek in this fun Treasure Island theme Card! I loved both the movie and the book! And I even loved Disney's movie "treasure Planet" an adaptation of Treasure Island. But Pirates are amazing no matter what!
