Butterfly Happy Birthday

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

We're back to summer heat so I'll be staying inside as much as possible for
a few days.  I'm glad to have an excuse to take a break on the yard work.


I've been playing with these butterflies a lot lately.  I'm not sure if any of them have
made it to my blog before, but I thought they would work well for the
Freshly Made Sketches #736 by Varina...


and I even used a piece of my hoard of patterned papers.

The butterflies are a die and embossing folder set from Simon Says.
It's my new favorite toy.

Challenges:
Love those Pretty Papers - Use patterned paper

It may not be surprising [you know me so well] that I adore your trio of lovely flutterbys, Bonnie!
GORGEOUS colors, papers, and embossing, too! Thanks so much for creating this beauty with our Sketch!

This is a stunning card, Bonnie. The gorgeous choice of pre-made background perfectly complements the colors of your butterflies. I love the beautiful pops of color on their wings. The embossing on the sidebar looks very interesting, and adding a piece of patterned background to it ties the card together beautifully.
hugs,
BożenA xx
