What I'm looking for...my stinkin' glue dots. I spent more time looking for glue dots than I did making this card, and I can't find 'em anywhere--I finally stuck the bow on with a teeny bit of sticky strip. I can't imagine that I would have brought vellum tape that doesn't work right and I somehow forgot to pack my glue dots when we moved to Japan. Maybe I should look under my bed...that's where I found the credit card I lost three weeks ago. Of course, we'd already canceled the card and ordered a new one, but at least it wasn't stolen...
Anyway, I like this combo. I colored in the flower with ink from ink pad lids, keeping it really light. Needed a birthday card and now I've got one. And I've got that U2 song stuck in my head...my dad used to sing that to me when I was a kid. I had a *really* messy closet and he'd tease that I was looking for the floor in there and couldn't find it.

This is beautiful!!! I love how you've coloured your flower. Your story made me laugh - how you Dad used to sing that U2 song to you when you were a KID!!!! LOL - I remember dancing to that song at night clubs as an adult - when it was still new - how old do I feel!!!!!! Still, I'm getting off the point now - I love your card!!!!!!
