Springy Tulip Card for an April Birthday

Good afternoon!  Spring is here...both outside and on my craft table.  :-)  Whoo hoo!  My crocuses are in full bloom and my tulips and daffodils are getting taller by the day.  It makes me happy to see the sun shining in the yard and to feel it warming the house. 

This mood translated over to my craft area where I made a card this morning for my sister's birthday.  She enjoys flowers, so I'm hoping she'll like my tulip card.  The tulip is from Simply Charmed.  I cut all the layers but hid the face cuts so I could use my Peachy Keen stamps to give her a wide-eyed, happy face.  I added some peapod twine, Glossy accents on the yellow pieces and a fluttering felt butterfly.  I'm putting away my winter coat and scarf...SPRING IS HERE!
