Thursday Postcard Hunt | USA Cities

Postcards from Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania, USA):

Aerial view of downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania "The Golden Triangle", and Point State Park. The Allegheny River (left) and the Monongahela River (right) converge at Pittsburgh's Point to form the Ohio River.

Printed Collage

Front and back of an envelope made by Lilli (Canada). She makes the collages, and then prints copies for envelopes or writing paper. A great idea!
