Omgoodness this is so so cute! I love those fun birdhouses, the bright colors and that zig zag texture (very cool). And I am kinda giggling at the name of her blog - too funny!

How cute your birdhouses are Benz. That designer paper is just awesome. It looks like a garden below those birdhouses, Love how you made your embellishment with the bird and sentiment. A super adorable card.

Great CASE Benzi! Wonderful colors, images and coloring. I never think to use that EF, but it is just perfect here. Cute flower frame for the bird too. I'm sure that you'll miss that pretty punch once you send it Pamzi's way...
