This is for CAS90 Ways to Use It: Gingham or Checks. I checked this challenge out during my lunch hour today and instantly thought of red and white gingham, evergreen punch and punched bird. I did a couple of cards similar to this a couple of weeks ago and I just love the red bird and ribbon against the crisp white background. CAS really isn't my forte but I sure enjoyed myself with this challenge. I think the bow and sprigs of greenery looks like a pretty wreath with a Christmas bird perched on a stem.

Oooh this is so pretty. I love the fresh clean colors.
How did you get the sprigs to stay tucked in bow?
Id love to try this but I know it will never look as good as yours. TFS

Ha! we are all laughing as you say CAS is not your forte. Well 2000 views and comments later we see how terrible you are at simple designs. You nailed it with this one, Kittie, and now we all have this sweet card in our Favorites file. Just in time for a holiday show box swap I'm going to tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration.
