Happy Sunday everyone! Today has been a wet, grey and rainy day here in the desert southwest .. a perfect day to do some card making! I made this card for three challenges. First being the sketch #57 at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I just love that challenge blog, not only are the sketches great week by week, but the ladies over there are super nice and very encouraging! Thanks SSW gals! Then second challenge is the big #100 Color Throwdown. The colors are fabulous, Certianly Celery, Real Red, Regal Rose and Baja Breeze. Sweet, right? And the third challenge is at a new-to-me blog, Caardvarks in which the challenge is to create a birthday card.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today! I am excited to hear what you think!

LOVE the paper piecing - one of my favorite techniques. The image is adorable - I love all the tomatoes. It has been dreary here for months (so it feels) - yuck!! Thanks so much for playing at SSW.
