This will go out to Kathleen (Kathleen Lammie), to whom I want to send good wishes and positive thoughts during a challenging time. I wanted it to be as cheerful and happy as Kathleen's presence here on the forum always is. Something pretty for someone lovely.
Thanks for looking!

This is definitely a cheery card! The flowers are so pretty..I really like the patterns of the flowers ..they remind me of a spirograph design. The bird is really cute and the mix of bg designs is great!

How lovely! The grid contrasts wonderfully with the stars and swirls (no, not yet!) - and I also like the balance between the tapesty-like circular flowers and the oval for the bird. The stars and swirls almost looks slightly dry-embossed or texture, must be the chalk ink, I suppose.
Oh! This is lovely! I have that bird stamp and punch and don't use it nearly often enough. I love the color you chose for the bird. A great vintage feel!

So lovely! I love all those stylized flowers and designs. The bird looks like it may be the bluebird of happiness, and that is certainly what I wish for Kathleen (along with a new lung).

What a beautiful mix of bg patterns, they show off the bluebird beautifully! I'm glad you did post this in the MMTPT gallery. No need to fear us, we're (me especially) a crazy, but fun loving group!
