More than a Card, Less Than a Book 2

Here is my second card/booklet, "A Day at the Beach". It is attached to a front and end cover that are separate from each other, and is a slightly heavier stock, so that it will stand on its own better than the Labastide-Murat booklet does. I rather like the more "book like" presentation of the first one, however, it is nice for display to have it stand up in a "Japanese screen" fashion. There are 6 panels on the front for the beach cross-section image and four on the back for a map of the area. The bottom image shows how all the art work was done on one sheet of watercolor paper so that it could be copied for printing in one scan. One scan makes the project affordable. I always have the printer add a "circle C" and a date after my name and title to give it copyright protection.
