Hi Guys!
Well today I have another card for you featuring the artwork of Stacey Yacula for Purple Onion Designs.

Both birdies are so very cute - the natural one and the image! And I love your color choice - it was a very good decision to gear it to the "original" :-)

Love the card shaping, Dorcas. He is such a cute birdie too. Never heard of an Eastern Bluebird before but I can see why he is fav of yours. Such vibrant colouring.

Did you say "Purple"...LOL! Funny that we didn't see any on your card...sorry...couldn't help but tease you.

Card looks great. You are one of my favorite colorers (is that a word?) the image looks so good.

Thanks for the "peep" about my word verification. Its turned off now.

Tracy said...

YAY! You got to make a Peep card too. That is the sweetest little bird image and I love how you modeled him after the bluebird. I saw one of these not long ago. Their colors are so vibrant. :-) Super cute Dorcas!
