It's not often that I get 'commissioned' to make a card for someone else but my friend Jenny called to ask if I could make a special birthday card for a lady who is turning
80 and loves the colour orange. She has requested no gifts but lots of cards instead, so I thought a special card would be in order. Now, I'm not a particular
lover of orange but S/U's Pumpkin Pie is a little easier on the eyes
than some of the other in-your-face oranges around.
Trying to get some use from my investment in the Grand Calibur and dies,
I decided to make a round card. I honestly don't know how we survived
before Nestabilities!
And what would a card be without glitter? The butterfly has been glitterfied
and a few tiny pearls were also added.
And on another note, the critter that I posted about the other day was NOT A RAT!!!
It was a vole or mole and they are slightly larger in size than a mouse (about 3" long and plumper than a mouse). He has been relocated to the cherry orchard,
adjacent to our house and I sternly told him not to return. I am however,
not going to replace the window screen quite yet ... just in case!
Thanks for stopping by.
