Here is the inspiration for the Dirty Dozen this month, and for me, just to hear Louie Armstrong's dreamy voice is all I need! .
My world is wonderful because of my Sisters, and this sweet image from Squigglefly brought back so many wonderful memories. The image is paper pieced and colored with Copics, and was masked to enhance the background.
Hope you are inspired too and play along! Thanks for looking!

Pat, total preciousness on a card!! Adore how the leaves are stamped down onto the oval, the feminine, delicate pink bow, and the incredible coloring. This is an absolutely amazing tribute to sisterhood, full of love and hugs and beauty!

This is such a precious image! I love the idea of paper piecing the image, the extra tails in your bow, and the effect you created with the stamped leaves. Beautiful!!

Oh My Gosh, it was enough to see the words to this great song, but your story and the WAY YOU DID THIS CARD is nothing short of an amazing result - to PAPER PIECE this image and carry your leaves over the layers - WOW!!! What a wonderful memory this stirred up for you too - grabbing a kleenex now!!! HUGS!

This is beyond precious and over adorable!! I love these sweet little girls, the perfection with which you colored them, and the beautiful background you made for them. And you are so the sisterly type, I would LOVE to have a real life sister like you!!~

This has your name written (colored?) all over it! I didn't need to see a name to know your precious handiwork lady Patricia. Glad you have such a dear sister to make your world a little more wonderful. Hugs~
