A new Queen was crowned today and it is none other than Bev Barton. Bev, I'm so happy for you.
I must confess I made this card a couple days ago and had not uploaded it yet to the gallery. As I was going through your gallery, I saw this card QFTD24 Birthday Wishes by Bev Barton at Splitcoaststampers Barton] and thought my card looked so much like yours that I would honor you with it. Hope that is o.k. I love your CAS card..my ribbon is at the top, along with the brad I added. Of course, my image is different.

Benzi, who cares when you crafted the card because when it works, it works. It doesnt happen all that often anyway. I love your CAS style. Beautifully colored image accented perfectly with that chocolate ribbon and brad. I'm thinking your thinking ahead really paid off. This is really stunning.

I don't know what it is, but birds just make for a happy card. I love this image - it just made me smile. Your brad and ribbon are excellent touches to your beautiful card!
