This is for Cindy (Mothermark) Tuesday teapot challenge! I have never played in her challenges before but I decided to join the tea party today! I hope I am invited, lol!! I thought I had to come up with something that looked like the teapot, YIKES! My brain just doesn't work like that, lol! Anywho, I hope this qualifies, it does have a strawberry on it. Decided to keep it clean and simple! I do wish I had added a black brad in the lower right corner of the strawberry panel however. I do that all the time, after I have stuck everything down, I decide I should added this or that or blah, blah, blah!! Added the piercing instead!

Hey guys, be good! We have a new person here!!
OMG! Its awesome! I thought you weren't gonna come! But I am so glad you did! Oh by the way, WAY TO SNORT!!! Hee!
Your card is precious! After you have come to the teaparty a couple of times you will find that there are no such thing as rules, no such thing as cheating, no such thing as not being invited. And I am working on the *no such thing as frosting fights, stolen cards and purses, whipped cream flinging, and over priced good for nuttin' security guards!* Don't ask me how that's going! Snort!
So happy you came! Your card is perfect! The little black brad would have been cute, but it's not a make or break thing! I am loving it like it is! The ribbon sets it off perfectly!
Thanks for the link, for coming and bringing this awesome little card!

Love the clean, simple lines of your card! It is elegant and whimsical at the same time. So glad you came to the tea party even if there isn't a big bowl of whipped cream on the table. I do think we each get a dollop though.

Gorgeous card, what a sweet strawberry, good on the ribbon black and red gingham, too cool. Nice to see you, and just a tip, my little hedgie guy has a surprise in the bottom of the strawberry bastket he's toting. LOL TFS

I love what you did with this set. It is super. The little bits of ribbon are awesome. What a great card for this challenge. We Dawn's have to stick together. This is a crazy and wild bunch. Watch your back. It may get stung by a bee or thumped by a bunny. SO glad you came...

Welcome to the mayhem, snort, I mean teaparties. I love how your teapot that wasn't a teapot card turned out. I love the way you have the little ribbon tabs. The piercing is a really nice touch.

I love how you added the paper piercing and the ribbons are super. There's so much in your card that is pleasing to the eye. You'll love the tea parties as long as you learn how to duck (the frosting, the cream, the bees). Welcome!
