This is one of my "so weird that I like it" or "just weird" kind of cards. Although it doesn't seem easy to reproduce, it really is. After drawing and doodling designs on the bird, I made a few copies of him with the printer. After doodling the boarder on the small white square, I also made copies of it on white cardstock. Then I could place the scalloped square die cut over the doodled boarders and not have to redraw the squares. The rest is die cut and put together. The inside just says "One little card holding a great big "thank you". Although it isn't holiday colors, the music paper always reminds me of Christmas carols, and the bird could be a partridge without the pear tree. The inside does have a very stylized and doodled sprig of holly since I gave these out yesterday for holiday greetings to the mail person, UPS person, and the ladies at the market who have worked there forever and always ask how my boys are (my sons used to love to go to the market with me when they were little. It was such a surprise when i went shopping without them for the first time and realized that it really does not take 2 hours to do a weeks worth of grocery shopping..it's faster now, but not as much fun). TFL, Francie

Very cute, I love your zintangled bird, it is unique. I also like the doodling on the square and the lines around the base. Great job. Have a Merry Christmas.

You should name this One Cool Bird..I think you've designed your very own digi stamp with this bird. I really like the zentagle look of it and colored in to match today's color scheme. Hey you could bring him out every week and just change the colors...lol..I like your mix of bg papers (b/w dot...a fav of both of ours) and the doodled and drawn lines. A very unique and well designed card...love it!

LOVE this! Your bird is fantastic, not weird in the least IMHO. Love that you paired him with music and polka dots, too! Awesome card!
