I promised myself I'd steer away from black and red for awhile, and I was successful with this card. After watching Betsy in today's Make It Monday video, I knew what I wanted to do, but I wasn't sure which paper to use, until I was digging through my scraps and found the perfect piece. This flowery piece is one of my favorites from October Afternoon, and I have cut it very carefully so as not to waste any!

| Falling Leaves, Hanging Out, Little Bitty Bird, Take Three die (PTI) |
First, I cut the yellow square and patterned square from the Take Three die. After cutting "friend" out, I adhered it to the cardstock using a piece of post-it note as a guide. (Another trick from Betsy.) I popped up the "hi" panel with some pop-dots. Then I stamped the grass from Hanging Out, the tree from Falling Leaves, and the birds on cardstock, and popped them up too. I added a little sparkle to their wings with a Sakura pen, and some gems to the tree.
It's been sunny and in the high 70s here in Texas; I think spring has sprung. So, this card fits perfectly with my mood! This year it was cold maybe one day. Makes me wonder what our summer will be like. {shudder}
I'm submitting this card to this week's Casual Friday challenge too! Have you played along yet?
