3 Clovers Thursday Challenge 39-Bugs and Birds

Okay...go ask my friend Charla....she knows for many of my first stampin' years I had a real aversion to bugs or butterflies or birds. Don't ask me why...just did. Do you have a type of stamp that you have an odd aversion too? I bet I am not the only one!

Well, over the last few years, and especially since I have started blogging, I have been released! Martha Stewart's butterfly punches and Penny Black's Chickens have opened up a whole new world for me LOL!

This week at 3 Clovers Thursday Challenge, the team was asked to make a card using Birds or Bugs. Well, I can't seriously use a realistic bird or bug...I must use my dear PB crew! I so wanted to add a cute little birthday cake to this card...and in my zillions of stamps, I could not find one that made me happy, so it is what it is!

I had this card in mind when this week's Penny Black Saturday Challenge #74 came around...and it fit perfectly..... Song Title/Lyrics!

Bugs and Birds should be an easy challenge to stamp along with...... Let's see what you can do!
