Naturally, I made you a card today.
I just had to make a spring card with this adorable Paper Smooches bunny! Especially since there are a couple five challenges I was really hopping to put him in to show off his orchid "white" space:
- Addicted to CAS: Cute. Or even stinkin' cute.
- Butterfly Spot Challenge: C is for Corners + Butterfly.
- CASology Cue Card: Spring.
- Pixie's Snippets Playground: Use Those Snippets.
- Words 2 Scrap By: The Earth Has Music.
- Firstly, it's about spring and secondarily, it's about birds singing or howsoever you interpert it. As it applies to my card, you might be interested to know my bunny (whom Hammy and I call Towzer) can sing "Butterfly" by the BeeGees, which, as you can see, the butterflies love! Here is a verse for you...you'll have to pardon the lisp, what with his buck bunny teeth and all.
Green fields where we used to wander
Purple valleys, near my home
We would play there, beneath the sky
And then I kissed you, butterfly.
