I LOVE your blue jay, Sallie, and the card is just outstanding. The snow on the pine needles looks great.

Nothing you do is "same old" Sallie! Love the look of the splatter, just like real snow falling. The blue jay is beautifully done and fussy cut! I love how you highlighted the pine branches.

Sallie, your card is positively gorgeous, but I had to grin about same old, same old toothbrush spatter. I have orange stains on white woodwork three feet away from my craft table from the first time I ever tried that technique - what a mess! Maybe you could give me lessons ;)

I LOVE how you painted your bird! The detail is just fantastic and I ALWAYS love the look of white acrylic paint splattered! (We used to do that when Tole painting many moon ago and it carries over to cards very well!). Your card is beautiful! Thanks for playing!

A beautiful, beautiful card, Sallie. Your Blue Jay is magnificent with your awesome coloring, and I love the snowy background. Your cards never fail to amaze me!

Not being a fan of blue jays as they are such bullies at our bird feeders, I have to say, YOUR blue jay is so striking in his beautiful color against your gorgeous background. I love the soft look of the evergreen branches in the snow!
