Just playin' today....Does anyone else get inspired by cocktail napkins, lol?
Improvised my seeds with a coffee bean stamp. The trio of little hearts is to camouflage a big smudge, and also dotted with a pen to cover it up.

So cute! Love it. A ripe, juicy watermelon slice is so good. Yes, I have been inspired by napkins. Too fun. Reminds me of a riddle: What is it that causes you to go at red and stop at green? Watermelon, of course! Great card.

Shirl, what a great design you created from your cocktail napkin inspiration!! Very clever idea to use the umbrella framelit as the watermelon slice and the coffee bean stamp for the seeds!! Your addition to your sentiment worked out wonderfully well and I would never have guessed that it wasn't part of the original word stamp! Love your plaid background dsp, too!

Oh my gosh, Shirl, this is too cute for words!!! Yes indeed, I have been inspired by cocktail napkins, but my efforts are no where near as cool as this. Seriously, this is a dynamite card!
I love the look of dancing melon slices and the stamped trio of hearts that hide the smudge add the coolest design element in this card - it looks like love is cascading from the Life is Good sentiment right down onto the fruit! Love EVERYTHING about this card, so fun!
