As I do the Three Things Challenge From Di, I am also throwing in my ‘Word of the Day’.

There are no restrictions regarding length, style, or genre, though please keep it family friendly.

Your three words today are:
FLUSH – done
PLUSH – done
BLUSH – done

My Word of the day.

Trompe-l’œil – done

ˌtrômp ˈloi

• Visual illusion in art, especially as used to trick the eye into perceiving a painted detail as a three-dimensional object.
• A painting or design intended to create the illusion of a three-dimensional object.
