Polly is our hostess today and she has challenged us to use squares on our cards today, because squares are not a shape that we generally reach for. I agree. But this square shape was a nice frame for this sweet butterfly heart that Imke sent in our monthly image swap. Speaking of things we never use--I never use butterflies. I think they're boring. Even more boring than flowers. I need to remind myself that other people enjoy them. I'm not saying I don't love flowers and butterflies in real life. I do, but I just can't do them justice on a card, I guess. And so, here are two cards that I think are boring, but I hope my recipients will enjoy.

Jen, I;n interested to read that you rarely use butterflies because they bore you ~ I feel just the same! I do love making floral cards, though. I'm not sure why butterflies don't call my name for card making but I'm glad to find out I'm not alone : ) That said, both of these little cards are so pretty ~ I very much like the colors you used.

How can you find butterflies boring? I really love them and could put them on all my cards, a butterfly is colorful happy and free, and flowers make people so happy, I see you like them in real life, your cards are beautiful, happy and colorful!!
