The idea is to have several postcard samples filled in different methods or stitch combinations, but linked together.
Here's the closeup:

Here I've got circles or spots in radiating straight stitch in the top left. In the opposite corner, padded satin, french knots, fly and woven spider web. The motif in the top left hand corner is filled with seeding stitches. The motif in the bottom right hand corner is filled with lines of small running stitch. Both motifs are outlined with buttonhole stitch embellished with French knots.
The spots and circles fit in nicely with Week 2 in Sharon's Personal Stitch Library class, that talks about using POINT in design. I've also used small straight stitches in different ways as both seeding and running stitch and I have used french knots to emphasis the spikyness of the buttonhole stitch.
