You know how I love the birds....
I discovered these little guys on one of my Internet excursions
and fell in love.
Unfortunately, the stamp is discontinued.
Fortunately, someone had a slightly used one for sale....
for way too much money....
but they're mine.
And I'm keeping them!

Here's another of our real life feathered friends.
During the winter the goldfinches were more brown than yellow.
Then they started turning gold again, but very slowly.
They were quite spotted for a while.
Their summer coats are much prettier!
Thanks for the visit.
Enjoy!

Oh this is so adorable Bonnie. Love it. I love to watch the birds at my Mom's house with her feeders. I love these finches best.
Great card, Bonnie! Love those sweet birds.
A wonderful and beautiful card, love the sentiment.
AND a beautiful photo of your goldfinch too
No wonder you wanted those birds, Bonnie. They are darling. I love the sentiment, too, and it just went on my wish list. The goldfinches are here and bright yellow now. I sometimes have as many as 30 on my feeder.
I just realized I already have that sentiment stamp set. I didn't remember until I saw the name you listed. Yay for me!
These birds are SWEET! Love how colourful they are. Doesn't matter the price, they were worth every penny! :) Your goldfinches are so beautiful. That is the brightest yellow I've ever scene. We have had lots of visitors flying through our back yard lately. There's a couple of woodpeckers hanging around. I always get a kick out of them. xx
Lucky you, finding that adorable bird stamp! And I love the way you used it with the bright colours and pale blue background. That Gorgeous Grunge stamp looks fabulous behind it.
Beautiful photo of the goldfinch - that is one bird we have in common!
Gorgeous card and lovely sentiment, Bonnie!
I like this card and using the grunge stamp as a touch of background is a great idea. As always I love your photos and what a lovely creature to look at.
Happy Mother's Day, Barb
All kinds of beautiful birds - in real life and on your card! Cute and pretty card and love the sentiment. The goldfinch is beautiful!

Bonnie! I loved this from the moment I saw it on the admin blog. I love the design, your colouring and those wonderful birds! xx
Great picture of the beautiful Goldfinch, Bonnie! I was just admiring the ones at my feeder this morning. LOVE your card--the background strip is just perfect! Hope I'll get to play along being a bird lover myself.
Love the bright colors and layout, Bonnie! Beautifully done! Thanks so much for playing Simon Says Stamp Wednesday “Let’s Get Sentimental” Challenge!
Great find on this stamp, Bonnie...I think you should hang on to it for dear life! Beautiful coloring, and I love your CAS design, as always! Thanks for sharing the photo of your goldfinch...he/she is really beautiful!

your card is absolutely gorgeous!
Such a pretty card! Love these birds and gorgeous colors!
Super fun colored, focal birds!
Bonnie, your sentiment ties together so beautifully with the photo of your goldfinch. Their rich, melodic, pretty little calls make my heart sing every time I hear them! :-) I love your beautifully coloured image and the fact that you layered it on a red mat. Fabulous
