One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

What a delightful card! Love those balloons and the bottom panel of chevrons = swoon! Lovely! Just a thought but perhaps you can link up to 4 Crafty Chicks, where the challenge is chevron-ish...
Thanks for sharing!
