I like both of them. What do you think?

My neglected cartridge is 50 States. I used it probably a year ago, or more, when I was making a scrapbook for my son, but haven't touched it since. It really has some beautiful images of different birds, as well as different flowers. If you have this cartridge, I would take another look at it.
The bird image is a little more realistic rather than a "cutesy" one, and works well for an adult's birthday card. I like both styles...just depends on what your needs are at the time.

ReplyDeleteCute card. I have that cart and never use it, now I need to go look through the birds on it. Thanks for playing along with us at FCCB this week.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Isn't it interesting how a simple change of paper can make such a difference? I really like the one with the embossing (because I LOVE embossed paper!!).
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for playing along at FCCB this week!
