Flamingos of Another Color

Good Morning - Good Morning. It is a Monday so must be BBTB2 Challenge. Our hostess this morning is Melissa, great pick for our challenge Melissa, Thanks. Please visit our Challenge Blog for some outstanding Designs - everyone-out did themselves with this wonderful "Life is a Beach" Flamingo. Our challenge was to use the flamingo cut in anything but the traditional flamingo color of pink. I was soooooo excited when I realized that this could also be submitted to the "Oh Alice" Challenge, definitely one of my favs!
Other than the flamingos, ribbon and hearts this card was done totally with a double sided sheet of "Graphic 45" pp, "Hallowe'en in Wonderland". This is truly one of my favorite papers, it has boosted "Flutter Butter" to number 2 on my list. There is some bling added, the eyes of the flamingo and 3 black gems in the center, bottom. Have a wonderful week. Hugs
