LMS090 - Texas Easter Birthday!

Today's Let's Make a Scene design sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps is a special request card that may look a little out of the ordinary. My sweet friend, Cheryl, wanted a card made for a family member who is out of the country on vacation and is sad to be missing the prime wildflower season here in Texas. She also happens to be celebrating her birthday on Easter Sunday which is something like a Blue Moon --- it doesn't happen often! Therefore, Cheryl requested that Texas wildflowers, Easter, and birthday all the represented in the design.  Here's what I came up with!

 Dogwoods grow in trees so I have them arching overhead of this Easter bunny and his decorated eggs nestled in a field of bluebonnets. Cheryl was even kind enough to help me with the card by doing all the fussy cutting on the dogwood blossoms and the bluebonnets!

    Beautiful and your friend is going to love it! The bluebonnets just added that extra oomph too. I heard they were gorgeous this year and I'm sad knowing I missed them. I'm in Lubbock now and no, there's not a single bluebonnet to be had. Um.....not many trees either for the matter!!!

    Easter is such a special holiday. Too bad she'll be celebrating her B'day and Easter somewhere else. I really like your card with all the flowers, mf!
