I think God smiles every time a sunflower looks toward heaven.

My cardboard art pieces are one-of-a kind original creations. The floral pieces on the painting are made from real seashells, painted to nature's sense of perfection. My original designs are available by request.

The Sunflower Shotgun House Cardboard, the second construction in the creation of Cardboard Real Estate.

The history of the shotgun house is as rich and colorful as the structure that it represents.

This architectural design has been celebrated since 1810. It's a rich cultural form that originated in the American South, notably Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

Shotgun houses are designed to be long and narrow with a gable-ended entrance, one room wide, and two or three rooms in depth. Legend says that the shotgun house was named such that one could fire a bullet from a shotgun through the front door and the shot could exit out the back door without ever touching a wall. 

Today these houses are rich in colors and architecture designs...
