It appears my picture may not show again, so here is a link: Yellow and Orange Card Swap
The Yahoo group which I belong to had a color swap this month using orange and yellow. I debated about joining the swap because I wasn't sure what I would make. I had these flowers that I had made from a friend's die last summer when we met in Des Moines. I added the orange glitter glue. From there I decided to use the large Spellbinders Labels 17 die to cut the two layers. A strip of orange dotted swiss ribbon was wrapped around the white layer before attaching it to the orange layer. Then I arranged the flowers - popping the middle one with pop dots.
I knew I wanted to add a butterfly but the yellow one by itself just didn't quite do it for me so I layered a smaller orange on top with orange glue dots on the body. I love using punched butterflies along with the sentiment from My Sentiments Exactly.
My friend, Joyce, was the group member who received this card and I was so pleased to hear she is going to use it to send to a neighbor who could use some cheer.
I imagine many of you will be busy tomorrow getting ready for Easter dinner. May you have a very Blessed Easter Sunday! Thank you for stopping by.

I just popped on over to where your card can be seen. WOW! I never would have though to use orange and yellow in the way that you did. Your card is beautiful Vicki. I'm so glad that you put a link up to your card it was wel worth waiting for.

So, so pretty, Vicki! What a great way to use the colors. Love the flowers and butterfly. How cool the card was "recycled," too.
