I just CAWED...

... to say I love you!  This Happy Bird wanted to dress up for Halloween and who can say no to her?  Seems like an 800th birthday is deserving of 'second helpings' so she's flying over to The Paper Players! 


Every year I try to come up with a fun card for a dear friend whose
birthday is also Halloween day! 
Several old papers from The Stamp Market came together for their sketch and this sweet Happy Dance Bird from Memory Box.  
I gave her a witches' hat and broom from the HoneyBee set I used on my first card. 


Have a happy weekend, my friends!  Thanks for spending a bit of your
crafty week with me - I surely do appreciate it!

Cutest happy dancin' bird ever, all decked out with her witch's hat and broom! I can't resist a punny, funny sentiment, and this one is so perfect for this card. Thank you for joining us a second time in our 800th challenge!

What a treat to have a 2nd card from you Michele! We appreciate you spoiling us with your fabulous designs. This is a very creative way to use the Happy Dance Bird but she looks lovely in black, adorned with her witch's hat. Love this so much and no doubt your friend will as well. Thanks!!

Your dancing bird is so cute all dressed for Halloween. Love the papers you used also. I know your friend will love it. I also had a friend whose birthday is on Halloween. Have a great weekend.

Ha! Bet this Happy Dance bird never thought she'd be a Halloween crow! Genius! And I love how you costumed her, too! And don't get me started on that sentiment......
