This is my entry for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge "Fruit".The apple and the pomegranate along with their blossoms are represented here. Both fruits are symbolic of fertility and abundance and the image represents Pomona the Goddess of Fruit. Vintage botanical prints, image from Deviantscraps, postage clip-art and gradient and soft light filters use in Photoshop Elements 7.
