Oh Crab!

Hello dearies!  A few weeks back, my sweet friend Marcia shared some cutie little crabs from Waffle Flower with me.  She's so good at sharing her toys.  Anyway, they've been sitting on my desk just waiting for me to get back in to my craft room.  When I saw the colors from Color Hues this week, I just knew I had to put those little crabs together and do something using their colors RED & BLUE.
 
The background dp is from Stampin' Up and the alphabet letters from from Scrapbook.com
 
I think I used the smallest crab in the bunch and made him look like he was grabbing the letter "b" from my sentiment.
 
The rest of the sentiment is inside the card.
 
I added a little red balloon from Elizabeth Craft Designs to add to the birthday message.

 I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:
Color Hues #116 ~ Blue & Red
 
 Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
 

Thanks for stopping by!

This is so cute, Birgit! I love that little crab die. He's hanging on to that B just like the real thing does when it grabs on! Ouch, I've had a few latch on to me in the past. So nice of Marcia to share some cuts.

OMGosh, this is so cute! I have loved these crabs when Marcia used them, and now I'm loving them in your hands! Perfect background paper, so much personality! Love the sentiment and how the crab is grabbing one of the letters. So clever. It sure works great for the Color Hues blue and red challenge!

Such a cool card, Birgit! I love that background. And that crab is so funny! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday! We really appreciate your work! :)

I simply came here to tell you that your card is just so adorable - and then I noticed the pattern in the background ... you could totally link this up at the Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge! I have nothing to do with them but I had the challenge printed out to try to make something for it and couldn't help but notice! LOL
