This week's challenge over on the Crafty Secrets Forum is to express what we love about Spring.
I love the return of all the birds that disappear over the winter and it's especially heartwarming when I see the first Robin of Spring!! Hence the theme for today's card.

We have birds right through the winter and the winter birds make a horrible racket (lots of crows and blackbirds). Like you I love the return of the robins. This is a great Spring card.

Now to a Brit, this is confusing! Our robins are absolutely synonymous with winter - they feature heavily on Christmas cards! They're not the same bird as your robin (ours are much smaller) but if you said "robin" here we'd think "snow" as a first response - lol! Lovely card, the sakura blossom look lovely with this image!

Gorgeous card, Darlene! I like the dp you chose with this image. The first robin I saw this year looked a bit disgruntled in the snow. His wife must have nagged him into coming back early!
