For my summer theme, i immediately thought of birds...my yard and the park I walk in are full of them. We even have bright colorful ones here in Orange County. Somehow domestic parrots got loose years ago and we have a huge wild parrot population. They fly over my house every evening in the summer...boy are they loud. For the CT0619- all the bells and whistles- i made a very busy card. The frame is 4 layers of heavy cardstock and the leaves all have 3 layers. The birds are two layers, with the wings and tails of the top layer folded out. They also have bling eyes. I love when I actually get a card made. TFL, Francie

Those birds are so cute and I just love the bg!! I do agree with you, it would be soooo much fun to all go to a RV camp together and just craft!! I have some friends who do that at the beach in one of their trailers. I've never gone but they all seem to have a lot of fun!

My mouth is hanging open Francie....this is A-MA-ZING!! Your coloring is out of this world...you get the shading just right...those colors pop off the screen! We're having clouds today and rain and this card just immediately brightens my day. Oh and I can't believe the wild parrots..how cool!

wild parrots...now that would be a sight to see. you didn't mention your background beyond the clouds...did you do the white dots with a...um, pencil eraser?? I think it is so cool and bravo for creating this for the DD challenge also. It's a fave for me.

Francie!!!! Hello!! Wild parrots? How fun!! I love walking out my door and listening to the symphony of songbirds! We started feeding them last winter and now it's as if I walk out into a tropical paradise! Terrific colors! I love your background with the water drops! Stunning card.
