I've been wanting to see how this cardinal would look paper-pieced, so I decided to do it today with the Color Challenge. I stamped the image onto a piece of Basic Grey Jovial DP and cut out the cardinal. The rest of the card is relatively CAS.

Oh my goodness, that cardinal is stunning - I have NEVER thought to paper piece any of my several cardinal images and it is an inspired idea! This is jumping straight into my faves!

Lois this is stunning. I love cardinals and this one is beautiful. It just pops right out at you. I love how you framed him too.
