Each one is a treasure Lin! I smiled extra big when I saw your bluebird...we have a group of half a dozen juveniles sharing the nesting box on our wisteria pergola...they are so fun to watch and we tease them about their bachelor 'crash pad!' Thanks for brightening my day!
So special that you did all this for US, Lin! Each card has its own special personality - love them all! I hadn't given the Floral Frames a second look, but the way you used it has given me so many ideas. And, of course, you do amazing work with flowers (& hearts!), so I particularly love your last sample. Thanks so much!
