I will contact you directly on Friday, October 13 if you were randomly picked and arrange shipping.  Thanks.


Lovely Lisa is hosting COLOR week at Just Us Girls.  This week, our cards need to incorporate the colors orange, light blue, tan.  I created a support card with pieced birds and lots of neutrals.  This is another donation card for Friends After Diagnosis, supporting women with breast cancer.

Your paper pieced birds are abstract awesome. What a fun way to use the colours and, in so doing, creating an eye-catching card.
