Cheryl, my idea for the first card is a robin “florist” in the act of building a nest with little flowers on some of the stems. The nest is being made in a flowering vine, I plan to use as many flowers as I can. Just wanted to check if this is ok before I begin. It will be collage and HP.

Oh my gosh, that is so creative and sounds so lovely Cici! That is perfectly in line with this idea. What a great way to kick us off with such a wonderful concept!
