We have soooo many cardinals in our yard. It probably helps that we have an evergreen hedge that has berries in the winter, a bird feeder, a bird bath\/water dish &amp; plenty of trees. Up until today, it&#8217;s been so dry that the water thing (holds a gallon) has had to be refilled every day for over a month! Last week, we had a whole flock of robins lined up to get a drink. Anyway, after coloring the image, I added some stickles for sparkle &amp; while it was drying, I die cut the papers. Instead of layering the image on top, I went w\/ making frames to go around it. I like how the paper complements the image &amp; the sparkle of the pink glitter paper adds texture &amp; holiday fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Here&#8217;s a look at the inside &amp;
