Beautiful cards. I would have never thought to turn that chick into a blue chick! I was thinking it had to be yellow...but now I'm seeing more possibilities...How about pink for new baby girl???

What a great way to use the flower soft in both of these cards, Rose Ann! The chickadee - too cute all fluffed in soft blue! And I love how the extra effort of cutting the grass (both kinds) made more dimentional!

Added the flower soft to the 2nd card was perfect, too! And that ribbon looks so soft and satiny!
