Merry Monday #219 with a Bird!

This week's challenge is asking for a bird to be on the card.
Sue is our Merry maker this week.
I love the PTI Winter Woods Bird, but then I love cardinals!
My "sprig" is from Spruce & Sprigs, also PTI.
I look forward to seeing your card in the gallery!
thanks for joining us!
Heart Hugs, friends!

What a lovely card Colleen! I love birds too, and especially cardinals. We've had two pair at our feeders throughout the summer. Hope they stick around through the cold weather. Love your card!!

I'm in full agreement - Cardinals are stunning birds, and definitely bring a "festive" spirit. Your Merry Monday card is fantastic!
