Our honored Queen Roberta has such a lovely gallery. I enjoyed perusing all her wonderful creations. I chose this rooster card for inspiration. I changed the color scheme to yellow and blue as the Swedes are fond of primary colors and since my rooster is a Swedish Dala rooster I thought it appropriate. I added paper piercing to the circle and the lower left corner.

Polly, it is the colors of the Swedish flag.....and a great summery combination too. I like the yellow gingham in keeping with the country charm of the rooster image. A terrific card.

We Swedes love RED Dala horses, you know, but the yellow and blue from the flag works well too! Love that image! Great case, Polly!
