A little bug told me . . .

What a fabulous day!  The sun came out early and stayed all day. It doesn't get more beautiful than a sunny day at the beach. Of course, with the sun comes all the tourists so then there's no room at the beach. I just consider myself so lucky that when Monday comes, I get to stay.  In the meantime, there were so many colorful kites flying. I love watching them - so many different shapes, colors & sizes. It's hard to pick just one as my favorite - try as I might.

The card that I'm posting today was one that I made about a year ago. This guy is one of my favorite stamps. Such an attitude! Frog was painted using Radiant Pearls, and I applied loud yellow glitter (Magik Glitter) to his eyes & Royal Coat dimensional magic over that to give his eyes a "pop." I used Cuttlebug's Swiss Dots on the tan background layer and paper pierced the tan scalloped layer behind the frog.
