These lil birds are singing for Leslie, our Twisted Sister who issued this week's challenge to use black and white and a hint of purple or lavender. We were to make our own bg, and I chose watercolor minis the the bird's bg and backed the bigger picture with the bird CB folder. We also needed to add a bow. (and yes, I know the green is cheating, but it just didn't look right without it!)
Everyone is welcome to play in the Twisted Sister challenge each week. This week, add TSC0212 to your key words so we can see your creations. Lesley, you made me stretch, but your challenge was fun. Thanks sistah! LYMI
Thanks for looking.

Wonderful card - I always love very card you make with wcm. I may have to come play in this challenge too since I don't have to work tomorrow due to snow (yes, major snow in Montgomery AL - can you believe it?).

Hey! You can't beat me to the punch when I say I'm gonna call you a dirty cheater. That's just, well, cheating. So I'm still calling you a dirty cheater (Don't worry ladies, I just love messing with her) and not just for the green but for the white card. DIRTY CHEATAH! LOL!!
