While I was on the road, my longtime friend Neda celebrated her birthday. Normally, I make it a Halloween themed card - it does fall on the 31st after all.
But this turkey had me reaching for a bird of a different color!
I pulled out a few retired Ellen Hutson sets for the sentiments -
Julie Ebersole always knew how to make me smile!
I dare you to look at this old bird and NOT see a string of pearls! lol
Only the HoneyBee Lovely Layers: Quail and
Spellbinders Four Petal dies are still available!
Thanks, for the turkey, and fun colors, Amy!
