I would like to challenge you to get inspired by one of the many idioms we know - here are some.
Of course there's a storm in a teacup - or for today we will say a Tempest in a Teapot - something small exaggerated out of proportion.
Or to have butterflies in your stomach (to be nervous)

Cool as a cucumber (very relaxed)
Butter someone up (be extra nice to someone)
Cream of the crop (The best)

Or maybe you prefer bird idioms :

Puppy dog-eyes (A begging look)
Fat cat (a highly placed well-paid executive)

I knew immediately that I wanted to do tickled pink. I couldn't locate the stamp set, so I used a coloring page. Sizing the page for a card made for some tricky tiny detail coloring, luckily I have some ultrafine tip markers and pens! Still, I had to use a magnifying ring light to color.
