Okay, first off, how did I get this for IC118 that featured a picture of a green irish shamrock quilt?
Well, for sometime now I have wanted to use this stamp I've had for over a year of a bunny WITH A QUILT!!! Thus - this is a stamp of a quilt. I had stopped on my way home this afternoon and picked up this darling purple paper ( I know, it looks blue in the photo ) that I thought would be perfect for Easter. Thus - there is a little green in the pillow and on the trim but not on the majority of the quilt.
Man, I had nightmare with this card... My biggest colluzle circle was as big as the actual image circle. Don't look to hard as I had to cut the other circles out freehand ....around the first circle. Then as the paper had scallops, I decided that I wanted scallops all around the border... so I traced them from the paper and cut them out with sisccors TWICE because I was not quite happy with the initial size.
Bunny - have a nice time in bed...I think I might need a coke slurpee after this to calm my nerves..
Thanks for looking!
If I don't comment now ...I'll be back..with the coke slurpee and comment later!!

Oh Deborah, this is the cutest. Your explanation works for me. That Irish quilt on bunny is just challenge-perfect and the rest of the card is perfectly adorable too. It's such a cute image, I'm not sure I could have waited that long to use it. If you hadn't told on yourself I would have never known that circle was freehand. Great job with it and the coloring. This wonderful little card is a masterpiece.
