Welcome Spring!

My Grandmother and I always had a contest as to who saw the first Robin in the Spring. Of course, Grandma always won!!! Grandma has been gone for 10 years now, and every year when I see the first Robin I think of Grandma and I wish I could call and tell her. So, this card is a sort of tribute to my Grandmother.

I made this card for Easter and for Card Club.

Recipe:

Create A Critter - pinecone (turned upside down for the "chick") cut @ 4.17" x 5.3"
