It is supposed to be spring here in Manitoba but it is still freezing cold & the poor birds are starting to come back looking for food....my feeders have been very busy. We still have snow on the ground in our yard & the river in front of the house is still partially frozen. My tulips & daffodils are peeking through though so spring can't be too far off! (can it?) I have been making some cards with no coloring on them lately. As much as I enjoy coloring I am loving the look of this card! The gorgeous DP is the songbird collection by Prima (Lineage & Zephyr) The dies are all Memory Box....grove branch, meadow bird, macarena corner & petal party. I used a tiny black pearl for the eye & some bronze brads for the centers of the flowers. That's it....hope you like it as much as I do!

Love it Renee! Such a great use of the dies. If your summer is like ours was (does that make sense?) it will be a bit chilly! Hope spring spings soon for you all. Thanks for sharing with us at Unstampabelles for our current challenge!

Magnificent paper piecing, Renee! And I'll trade weather with you. We hit 97F today, way above normal for early May temperatures in California! Thanks so much for joining in our "Anything Goes" challenge at Scribble & Scrap this fortnight. Good luck in the draw.
