happy birthday

 hi to all

and good morning, what a glorious weekend ahead here in the uk.

sharing the first of my recent coloured images Edna the bumblebee and it's my second entry for stampingbella's fluttering wings & summer blooms 2025 challenge (which i will add to their fb page).

i'd recently seen a photo of a carpenter bee from south asia and thought wow how beautiful i'd never imagined seeing a bee that colour and that's my inspiration for the colours used and i've also added a little sparkle with my glitter pens. a fairly simple cas style card, nothing too fussy.
