Mothers Day Card with Spellbinders Bird













Created this Mother's Day Card using a new to
me Spellbinders bird die.

Photographed it along with a Blue Jay bird photo
of a Blue Jay that I photographed in my back yard.
I'm thinking the BlueJay looks like a pregnant female
BlueJay. See her fluffy feathers & the acorn in her
beak.
