When I first saw this I nearly had the vapours thinking I had hit the puplish button and not schedule cos this is really sppoky that this fits my current challenge. We are obviously on the same wave length! I love this big and bold butterfly and those colours are so scrummie. Thankyou for fluttering by. We had a humungous bumble bee in the garden today making a right racket zooming in and out of the daffodils. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful butterfly Di and a gorgous card. Hope you're on the mend now xx
ReplyDeleteI love that butterfly! It's so gorgeous! As is the whole wonderful card! I hope you are recovering! xxx
ReplyDeleteThis card just floats my boat bigtime! Perhaps it's the purple color?? Then again, the overall design is fantastic! I absolutely love that butterfly!
