Stef took us to Graham and Green today for inspiration where I found this Birdcage Chandelier:http://www.grahamandgreen.co.uk/bird-cage-chandelier
I used the Sweet Stop sketch for the layout. The birds were colored, cut out and glued to the oval nestie to look like the out-of-the-box technique.

Your card really hit a chord with me, Cathy. Love the one "bluebird of happiness" with your sentiment.....so cute! The cherry patterned DP in the bg is a wonderful choice. Pretty colors and design.
