Peeking out the window!

I am so sorry about the quality of my picture...I think the pastel colours that I used on my card just washes out the picture, and the weather is not co-operating here! I tried something different ...I stamped my image and then coloured it and then cut it into cubes. I thought it might resemble a window! I have done this once before with my scrapbooking pictures and I really liked the effect it gave!
