Hello Friend

I have a bright and cheerful card today to share with you. It was inspired by three challenges. Ooops- make that two challenges. I nailed the theme for The Paper Players- Forever Friends but I got carried away and missed the Clean and Simple. 
Anyway, Global Design Project #433 has a great color challenge. The colors are Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. The sketch for my card came from CASEing Tuesday #447
