I'm sure you've all heard of Burt's Bees - the company that makes skin care products. Well, this is Benny Bee and he is Burt's head bee. When Benny heard about a bird named Bree who was being harassed by a bully bee he flew to Burt and told him he needed lots of daisies to make the highly allergic bully bee sneeze. Burt is a master gardener who has grown lots of super large daisies full of extra pollen - that's the only way he can keep up with the demand for his product! So, he has given his largest most pollen laden daisy to Benny so Benny can make that bully bee sneeze all day and quit bullying poor Bree! Burt is currently making plans to get this bully bee to come work for him in exchange for curing his allergies so Bree can live free of future harassment.
Image is Flower Love Bee from Squigglefly. I've colored it with Copic markers and chalk and added a bit of yellow flocking to the bee body. Sentiment is computer generated.

Benny? Are you Benny? Come with me! Tate just sneezed so hard he blew me six blocks back and evidently the teapotters don't answer their cell phones! Snort! I had to hoof it all the way back! We need somebody to do the miracle cure...how much you gonna pay Nate? Okay, that'll work! Tee hee!
This is so very cute! Awesome card, what a fun image...so happy! Holly did good! Whoot!

WOW, I am in awe of that fabulous background. That is stunning. Of course, that bee image had lots of personality and brings such a joy to this card. This is wonderful!

Great story - my SIL loves the Burts Bees stuff. And of course it figures that Burt needs abundant pollen-producing flowers, the perfect thing to trigger Tate's allergy. Benny is sweet, the flocking makes him look so soft. And your embossed background is really great.
