Hello friends! I hope you were able to get your cards in to the Jingle Belles challenge where they were raising funds for the Susan G. Komen? I only got one in myself, but every card counts! I noticed 100 entries yesterday X $4 per card- easy $400 in funds!
Today I want to share something a little different with you. This is a Thanksgiving card that is....well a little different. I was originally going to make a turkey using the new Top Dog Dies Turkey Time Die Set, but as I worked with it, I just kept seeing a sunflower. So that is what I decided to make, a colorful, non-traditional sunflower. Two of those tail feathers back to back aren't exactly round, so I did a little fussing to add another row of feathers in the middle. You can see it if you look closely, but had I not pointed it out, maybe you wouldn't? The colors just scream fall, I used Wild Wasabi, Blackberry, Razzleberry, Only Orange and Saffron (all SU)! I used a fun variety of yellow buttons as the seeds for my sunflower and I love that bit. The sentiment is also from Top Dog Dies, the Top Dog Dies Give Thanks Die.

So what do you think? A little different I know but eye catching and fun? I hope so.
Time for you to shake your tail feathers or flower petals or whatever it is you want, just have fun with it! :)
