    Love the twisted quote of Erma Bombeck! ;) Your card is so brilliantly colored and full of movement and signs of my favorite season, Spring! That's a wonderful branch you've designed with the birdhouse Sandy. So happy to see another of your wonderful cards.

    Too fun of a card! The inside looks as great as the outside. And hey, I've had my share of upside down cherry moments of life...usually with the juice getting all over with pits shooting out as well:)!!

    Great card Sandy... every time I look at it, I see something different so there's a lot of detail going on here. It's a fabulous design... the leaves, birdhouse, birdie. And the inside of the card is finished so nice. I love cards that are finished inside... they are just so complete!
