This is a picture of moi and the DH dancing "The Spring In Your Fling" because we found out this week that we are actually getting a tax refund instead of having to pay! Yea!!! Actually, this is us yesterday because today the DH is in the easy chair recovering from his first colonoscopy/endoscopy - oh, the joys of hitting 50! More bran for him - he is thrilled beyond belief.
I used SC195 for this happy dance card - I looked through them all to see which one would be best for a giant mirror ball - we had to have one of those since our peak dancing days were in the 70s and 80s. You should have seen the people in the waiting room this morning trying to figure out why I was trying to glue those little shiny dots to that circle. Not many people were willing to sit by me, but lots walked by slowly.
The teaparty gals are giving Roxy a 42,000 card salute for the 42,000 sketches she has dreamed up - well, maybe not 42,000 cards but more like 42,000 hugz, grateful words, and well wishes (I am pretty sure she really does have 42,000 sketches in that awesome creative brain she has).
Since we are arriving fashionable late and due to DH's delicate condition, I am glad we are all going in the back door this time!
I am also entering this in the Stampin' B's challenge for the week which involves bling. I have approx. 42,000 mirror dots glued to that ball plus I added Stickles to the bg papers, gems to the corners, and pearls to my necklace. I could have added a lot more but I restrained myself.
PT - one punch used 27 times (I found my SU! Corner Ticket Punch - yea!)

This is so fabulous, Nancy! I adore that clever mirror ball you thought up, and the pearl necklace you added is brilliant. What a fun card. You always have the best ideas!!

This is so clever.. A real woop-ti-do card ... Have you checked out Dude Time Doodles (digi) lately? There is an image of an old doctor putting a glove on his hand.. it would make a fab colonoscopy card for the hubby.

My sympathy to your DH, but isn't always great to get tax back. We got a little this year even though I wasn't expecting anything at all as I hadn't claimed any medical or dental relief.
Great work on finding a sketch to suit your wonderful disco ball - there's been some great disco creativity this week.

I love your mirror ball! I love this image and how you have it colored! Better yet, you are getting a tax refund and doing the tax refund dance!
Oh what fun for DH, a what we in my family call an "up yours and down yours". I asked if the cameras meet in the middle when I had mine. The down yours was worst. Yes, oh the joys of reaching 50...!
