CAS(E) This Sketch #157 and OCC

This sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch had me stumped for quite some time. The link closes in the morning and I just came up with an idea today.  Take a look at the sketch.
What do you think?  The obvious is clouds and sun but I didn't want to do the obvious.  I did this instead.
I have another valentine ready with this set from SSS.

I also have another card from my Online Card Class homework.  In an earlier post I made this card with a couple of pears on it.  Then one of the homework assignments was to make a card with pears.  I can see how the class card is a little better although I can still improve.
I wish I'd marked which were the first ones I did so I could see if I at least got better as I went along.

I've been spending so much time practicing my homework that I haven't had much time, or any ideas, for other cards except the one at the beginning of the post.  Most of that homework isn't worth showing but I'll keep at it and you might see something now and then.

Looks great to me! You went outside the box on the first card, and I think it's brilliant! Thanks for sharing your homework too, I enjoy them!

Oh Wow! Both your cards are fabulous, the grey and red CAS design is perfect as are those pears (I think I need to take this class)!

Brilliant take on the sketch, Bobby! I 'tried' to create one (using a sun and clouds stencil...so not creative!), but didn't get finished in time. Story of my enterprises these days in pretty much every realm. Yeesh! Your pears...oh my stars! They are awesome! A+++ on your homework! Looking forward to more of your 'practices'...
Hugs~c
