I agree with the others - they're both great cards!

However, since you asked for an opinion - I kind of like the one that doesn't have the red on the lighthouse better - I think it's because the post with the seagull on it is not as "lost" in the picture. The one with the red is colored in deeper and the seagull doesn't come through as well (at least in the picture on my screen)...JMHO.

I like the one with less red better. It feels more serene to me.

Nice cards!

Both are beautiful...especially the little gem for the beacon. But my preference is the one with less red...I believe the red checked bg paper adds plenty of contrast and the lighthouse stands alone without the extra red on it. Just my humble opinion! But...I'm sure your friend would love either one!

I think both are really great cards. IMHO, I like the second one better - not as much red - and it seems a bit more soothing. However, I would be thrilled to receive either one. Great job and TFS!!!!!!

Though they are both equally wonderful I would chose the second one that has more blue in the lighthouse.

Both are great cards, I'm going with the more red one. Something about it works better for me, either one will make your special someone smile.

The second one, the one without so much red.
They are both really beautiful though. I'm sure the recipient will love it!

I like the one with more red. But let us know which one you chose?

I also like the one without the red on the lighthouse. It does evoke a more peaceful/serene feeling when looking at it.

They're both great, but I noticed the same thing as dzmindy - the gull detail placement is a little nicer in the more "blue" lighthouse. Good luck - I think the receiver of the card will love either!

I like the first one with the red on it. It helps tie in the red gingham. I have to say you are very talented I love them both!

Default split vote

Hi!! I am sitting here with my very creative 7 year old son and we have a split vote. They are both beautiful cards!! However, my son likes the "more red" one and I like the other one.

It really won't matter -- whoever you are sending it too will love either because they are both fantastic !! :p
