 on April 18th from owner/DT Becca S = I spent a few minutes in Microsoft Designer to create some Ai-generated "table runners on dining table" images. Please feel free (for personal use) to take 1 or more of these to use for FQHSKCB #6 or for future challenges.

Super cool!!! These have a bit of Nordic look to them, I think. That wasn't part of the description I typed but it's wonderful to see what the possibilities can be! 

Enjoy!
