As I knew I was going to take a bit of time, I thought I'd choose an image from the hare family as my speed would be turtle and by choosing the opposite I could maybe hurry things up a bit??? I was timing myself and the phone rang but I'm estimating 30 to 40 mins. to create the card. My tips would be: 1-Paper piecing is a great way to use up scraps. 2-Stickles add just a special touch of bling to the design ( I added Diamond Stickles to the butterfly, the leaves, the eggs, the bow and the apron.

LOL at balancing the hare and tortoise - just like your bunny is balancing all those eggs. I should paper-piece more! But then, the fussy-cutting, while I quite enjoy it, is time-consuming. What a sweet Easter card.

With all the elements added to your sweet Easter card, you managed to create a wonderfully darling card in a matter of minutes. 40 minutes to me is 'in a matter of minutes'.
