Thanks for visiting! This is "two birds in one" (For the Creative Crew HF Challenge -described below- and also for the Monthly Christmas Card Challenge)
The product is mostly retired, and the design is a CASE of a CASE of a design that was in the SU! mini catty when the Big Shot first came out# I love this sketch -- and since I just received the bird die as a gift (thanks mom and sissy!) -- Mr. and Mrs. Bird makes their appearance for you today much as in the original debut!
For the challenge card, I created two love-birds.
The colors and embellies have been changed, and the phrase, and the image is rectangular instead of circular.
This is stretching it for Creative Crew challenge this month, but it does qualify! Quite serendipitously, I used a "love" quote, and also quite on accident -- I made a mistake with the leaves and covered it up with two bird. So, this DOES have love-birds - AND it is a holiday card!
Hope you join in the Creative Crew challenge this month :

Love the strong feel of this card. I also love those fabulous colors and the thought that these are Christmas love birds, makes them really special. Beautiful card.
Thanks for sharing such a unique perspective to what many think were *angry birds.*
