Bright, isn't it? I popped the color all the more by matting the wreath on black and then bright yellow. Added a doubled up die cut bow and some hearts and an oldie-but-cutie CTMH sentiment which had just the perfect fun font for the wreath. Then I figured since I used bumble bee colors for the card I might as well add a bumble bee. See him there with his vellum wings?
Some cards are just too much fun!

Oh it's fabulous!! I love every elements of this... the colours the design and the bee!! Terrific! Happy April!
Fun and fabulous card Leslie! Your colours are awesome, so bright, love the yellow polka dot card base along with the black background, sure makes your image pop. Your added bow and bee are super cute! A great way to start my day. Thanks as always for your wonderful comments on our photo's, and yes that is a little critter in her talons! Most people that saw the 2 Sandhill cranes thought the same that it was a reflection as well, but your right it's not. I love that picture. Anyway, sorry got sidetracked a bit, thanks for sharing today, I can always count on you starting my Monday's off with a smile. Have a happy day!
Wow, this just pops! I love every little detail on this one and layering it on black just makes it totally wonderful! The yellow polka dot base just is the perfect beginning for this lovely card!
How exquisitely gorgeous, Leslie! I love the drama of the yellow and black, and your dimension in the Bugaboo image is amazing! Beautifully colored and just makes me feel happy, right down to the busy bumble bee! I am especially partial to bumble bees because they are hard workers in my container garden. I've not seen any "regular" bees yet this Spring, but the hummingbirds and several wasp varieties are enjoying the "dregs" of last year's blooms. I hate pruning my angel wing begonias for that reason, but must do it soon! LOVELY card! hugs, de
What a bright and fun card to start the week! You are right - the background colors do make the image pop. The die heart adds to the cuteness and the bumblebee as well. Have a great week!
This is absolutely amazing. I love the colors, images and wonderful dies used. And, the bee is so cute! I love his vellum wings.
pretty. have a great day

Sorry I've been MIA ... between the wedding & the Spring show I find myself a bit 'busy' of late! LOL This is just beautiful and colored to perfection (I expect no less from you lol). So bright & happy! Love it!! Hugs and Happy Day my friend! I'll be back again soon!
Beautifully colored wreath, you have such a great knack for using the perfect shades together. That black matting does make it pop so well, I need to try matting with black. Love your little addition of your bee, I haven't used mine in so long, I need to break him out :)
Love your layering of your dies, wonderful embellishing once again!
I love this bold, bright design because I believe it shows your fantastic range of skill and talent. Personally, I love that black background. Not enough designers use it IMHO. I noticed the butterfly right away and love the use of vellum for the wings - a wonderful choice!
A beautiful wreath Leslie, your colouring is always, ALWAYS, classy and gorgeous..love that die.xx
WOW this is absolutely beautiful love the wreath and fabulous colouring -love the little Bee with his vellum wings and you die cut bow and heart looks like a little butterfly too.Thank you for all your comments they are much appreciated and great idea of using the flower heads as teacups-brilliant-thank you for the inspiration.

Wow, Leslie! I actually have this stamp and my version can't hold a candle to yours! Awesome job, my friend! Love everything about this gorgeous card! Double wow!!!
Oh my gosh, I hadn't even noticed that bee until I saw the closeup! Honestly, Leslie, we all know your coloring is superior, but your eye for design is also unequaled! Using a black background, surrounded by yellow polkie-dots in a square shape is perfection, as are the sweet matching beribboned hearts and darling bee!! Hugs, Darnell
I need to remember that phrase about a let-your-hair-down kind of card! So fun but not at all ordinary! What a fabulous design with perfect details like vellum wings and paying attention to the sentiment font. Another beauty, Leslie! Of course with polka dots and yellow, it's love for me at first sight.
Such a happy card. I love the colors you chose.
That is one beautiful wreath! I really like that heart bow..cute!
So, so bright and cheery! Wonderful colors and coloring, and I love the cute little bee!
Oh, Leslie, you really made a fabulous card with this digi! I absolutely LOVE the colors and love the sweet bow/heart dies, along with the sweet polka dots. Beautifully done! And that sweet little bee and lady bug are adorable. So sweet! Hugs and love! xoxo
