Well now as the story goes Trent loves orchids and needed a plane to go gather them up. He has the plane as you can see but he did not know that it was the rainy season and so much had fallen that he could not land. Oh no, what was he to do as they were packed and ready to go. Well, who shows up but Tweety Bird and said I can help. So trip after trip he made down to get the Orchids and got them all and in fact the last one he bought up for Trent was really a true Cattleya Orchid. They were loaded into the plane and some on the banner on outside of the plane. All made it home safe and sound. While researching all of this never knew there were so many different Orchids and that some flowers I knew by another name were really an Orchid. On white card base distressed edges, layering a map of the world, in case he got lost. Found all the images on free color pages, colored all in with water colors, made the banner and popped all on with glue and pop dots. Using nesties to punch things out. Used stickles on the stars, moon, and flower center.

What an adventure!! I love that Tweety Bird came to the rescue! One of the nice things about being a Teapotter, is that we often learn something new! This time about orchids. I love the plane flying over the map!
