One of my favorite poems is Warning -- When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple by Jenny Joseph. This has been adopted by the Red Hat Society. I found these cute Inkadinkadoo stamps for $5 at Michaels about a month or so ago and have never used them. This mini VSN challenge was the perfect place.
By the way, my favorite line in that poem is 'I shall go out in my slippers in the rain and pick the flowers in other people's gardens and learn to spit.' I laugh every time I read the 'learn to spit' part!

Wonderful..... Love the Red Hat stamps and faux postage theme.... great colouring.
We had a Red hat party for my Sister's 50th birthday, we all had to make our own hats... was a lot of fun...
Great card. tfs
