Doodlebugs Friday - a thank you!

Hello my friends!  I have another gorgeous bird in the house!  Altenew's Bird of the Mountain die set to be specific!  What a fun day I had taking this wonderful Redstart and making him into one of our favorite visitors to our yard - the Baltimore Oriole! It is such fun watching them getting nectar from our Hummingbird feeders!


Today is my last Friday post designing for Doodlebugs, so I wanted it to be really special - SURPRISE!! NO sneak peeks! But you will find all the other details and products used over at the Doodlebugs blog! wink. 

Thank you, my friends, for taking all the love you share with me here over to their blog - you are THE VERY BEST! Thanks for every syllable of your kindness!

  2. Oh Michele...your Oriole is absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!! This whole card shines, but that sweet little birdie is definitely the star of the show! The one that we saw the day you came over has not come back, so I'm assuming it was your presence that brought him to visit my feeder...maybe you should stop by again so we can test that theory out?! Anyway, lovely, lovely card my friend! Hugs. :0)

  5. Baltimore Orioles are our favorite visitor to our bird feeders. Yours is just stunning--and I love the Orange, white flowers and leaves as well. I don't have much in the way of bird dies but this one is urging me to change that!

  7. They are back in stock so I just ordered mine, Michele. That is one thing I want to do - change it to different birds. Your oriole is so beautiful and I would love to see one at any feeder.

  13. Absolutely gorgeous as an oriole! We don't have Orioles here, but in winter we had Black Headed Grosbeaks at the feeders. The adult male is richly orange and black. I enjoyed your post at Doodlebugs. I know you'll be missed there.

  20. Your Baltimore Oriole is awesome, Michele! He looks just like the one in the picture! Love the ink-blended shades and the orange branches paired perfectly with the bird. The subtle texture and the color of the background complement the bird in bright colors. Thanks so much for your inspiration at Friday's Doodlebugs!
