Just A Note

Hello on this fine upstanding Sunday Funday!

If you're looking for NBUS Challenge #3, please click HERE.

I've just a note for you today.

Why do we say, "just a note"? Don't we all love to get a little note in the mail, same as a card?!

Today's card features the Roy G. Biv family of birds. Even in the world of the rare Rainbow (Eritiacus nuzidula) family of birds, it is unusual for the brightly colored red male and the violet-hued female to throw a hatch of completely separate tinted offspring which encompass every element of the color wheel. [And they say blogs are inane. Where else have you seen this phenomenanon?]

As you can see, the five young'ns are almost fully grown, so they are having a fun evening sing-a-long to the music from "Bye Bye Birdie."

Ingredients

• NBUS birds on a branch (Hero Arts) which I die cut into the white card base (Bazzill) and then inlaid with a scrap of woodgrain patterned paper for the limb and multi-colored scraps for the birds.
• Music by Memory Box ("Virtuoso Music") cut from a gold SU envelope liner.
• Sediment is an unmarked wooden stamp.
