    Gorgeous card Vicky - the colours are fab together and your colouring is amazing!
    Surely you can't use swear words like ir*ning out in public like that - can you???
    Have a fab day - hope the Easter bunny is good to you tomorrow.

    Gorgeous card Vicky. Love that sweet image and the lovely colour combo.

    We're too near the North Sea this wee. Foggy every day. Well some days it cleared up a bit and not far away they had beautiful sunshine. Not fair! Rain now so hope it improves for the rest of the Easter weekend.
