Happy Christmas Bird

Good morning friends~  I hope you've been enjoying some glorious spring / summer weather wherever you are.  It's been beautiful here.  Too nice to spend too much time indoors.  I'd rather be outside when the weather is good because I know in just a few months I'll be stuck inside for the long winter.  
 
This card was made a couple of months ago and I never got it posted.  As I was blog hopping this morning, I see that it fits well with a couple of challenges so I thought I'd type up a quick post and share it with you.
 
This darling dancing bird is from Memory Box.  I first saw it used on my friend Michele's blog and instantly fell in love with this happy little guy, so I quickly went shopping to see if I could find him. 
 
As you can see the shopping trip was successful. While I was shopping, I picked up the pine branch and berries die set as well because, why not??
 The sentiment is an oldie from Papertrey Ink.
I think he's very dapper in plaid!
 
I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Peace On Earth Christmas ~ Inspired by the color blue
 

 I hope you're enjoying time outdoors to breath in the fresh are and take in the beauty of the season.

Thanks for stopping by!

I love how you have him dancing atop the sentiment as though he's most definitely having a merry little Christmas! What a fun card design, beautiful and cheery. He looks great in yellow plaid! I have this bird, too, still not used. He's waiting with the rest of the crowd of NBUS. It's good to see you today, Birgit. Enjoy the outdoors. Hope it's not too hot in your area.

I can see why you had to have this bird die, Birgit! He is so happy and you can't help but smile and want to do a little jig! :) Wonderful card! xx
