This is my card for today's color challenge. I don't have many SU colors so I tried to just eye-ball the colors and come as close as I could. I hope it's okay.
This card was fun...I had a little trouble threading the ribbon through the flower centers but it actually went pretty smoothly!
My problem this morning was the two birds outside my stamping room window. I know that Springtime is wonderful, new babies being born, birds singing about how happy they are to be back, flowers poppin up! But this morning the two birds outside my window were not happy campers! From what I heard.....the gist of it was was that he stepped out on her and she just found out. They argued back and forth all morning for 30 minutes straight, drove me nuts! I was gonna yell at them but felt sort of sorry for her...She said:
Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet tweet...Then he said...
Tweet, tweet, tweet!!!!!! She would fly away for a minute then come back and say...Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet!!!! He always had an answer!
Note to self: Tommorrow's project...stamp a little sign for my window....
Birds! This is a no arguing zone!

Those Walmart buttons are beautimous!! What a gorgeous card.
Now, as for the birds and their lover's spat. I'm sorry they drove you crazy, but he's a two-time, cheatin', 'fowl-feathered' little soul, and I say she should send his little tail packin'!!!

Beautiful. Love it all. Great way to do the ribbon. Love your little bird story. She probably wanted him to stay home today, and he wanted to go golfing or something. I think a lot of humans have this problem.

A very pretty card. Those buttons really were made for flowers and not clothes.
I like the way you did the ribbon-that took some patience. Maybe those birds weren't really fighting. I think they might have been just cheering you on with your morning card. They know your routine.
