HERE is what inspired me this morning, although I don't know how inspired I was. This simple card took two hours. I knew just what I wanted to do with the buttons, but then I was stumped. Needless to say, I'm not thrilled with the results, but it's the fifth try, and I'm done.
I spent the night dumping water that comes into our basement when we have rain, and soaking up a lot with towels (spin out, then dryer), and today I am really tired. Thanks a lot, Hurricane Arthur! Explains my card I guess.

I think your card is wonderful! Take a look at it again after you rest up - look at all the wonderful details! I am so sorry about the flooding, I can only imagine how irritating that would be....my prayers are with you! XXOO

I think this turned out lovely! Love the red buttons with the bird and the green leaves around the sentiment. So sorry about your basement...I'm sure it's exhausting doing clean up...go rest

I'm sorry about the rain in your basement. That is such a pain and will definitely get you tired. I however disagree about your card. I love your card!! I like the cherry branch and the three red buttons. Maybe your unhappy mood is just getting reflected toward your card. I think you did good Anne!!

I'm not going to say we are our own worst critic... I love your card - RED buttons, RED birds, RED cherries!! What more could you ask for? I really need that bird punch too....
So sorry about your woes concerning Arthur. A couple of weeks ago we got dumped on too, I hate that heavy rain. It always creates such a mess.
