I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings...LOVE of course!
I had told my MIL (Karen Barber) a while back how I just LOVE the cards with the little bird cages.
Just the other day she surprised me with a couple of little treats and one of them was a set of these little bird cages with the birds nicely propped inside! It was such a nice little treat! I couldn't WAIT to play with them and when I saw Nikki's gallery, I saw her bird cage card, I knew I wanted to CASe it!
Here are the changes I made:
The dimensions are 3.5in X 3.5in (It's a tiny card!)
I used a yellow button
Incorporated some black and yellow into the card
And the bird is set in the cage, there is also no stitching!
Nikki, your cards are very inspiring. I hope you like my rendition of your beautiful card and I hope you enjoy your day!
(I also wanted to mention that my daughter, Layla gave me those pretty little flowers and since she kept me company while I was crafting I wanted to include her!!)

Your card is a treat for the eyes!! I love text backgrounds, but it's your little caged bird that steals the show, so, so sweet. Fabulous colors and I like the layout a lot.
