This card was started to fulfill the Dirty Dozen February Monthly Themes "MORE is MORE" Challenges and the first Pre-Challenge for the Alphabet Challenge Round 9, but it evolved from there to fit all of the February Monthly Themes. See below:

Fun to use the coastal cabana! Looks great with the melon mambo!
Love the piercing heart behind this. It adds interest. I like the arrow pointing to the sentiment.

Beautiful and so many challenges with one card. I really like the simplicity of the card and how you added another heart in the background with your piercing tool. Lovely work.
