Hi Megan - your cards are so sweet - what a wonderful pair to enter the challenge with for the first time.
We are apparently going to get the tail end of your head later in the week...
Blessings

Your twofer cards are just great. I love those bird cages and how you opened it up so the birds could fly out. The papers you chose are so beautiful.
These are such sweet, delicate images, Megan ... so pretty against the cherry blossom and flourishy green PPs ... and what a lovely sense of movement about that bird in flight, hovering by the cages! Happy to have you playing along with us at Twofer after following us for some time ... do come back again! Anita :)
They are really lovely Megan xx
Two beautiful cards, Megan. Lovely designs and the background papers are so pretty. xx
Two really super cards, lovely papers and dies. Hope you are coping with the high temps you are having over there.

Welcome to Twofer, Megan! You've made two feminine bird cards with lovely patterned paper for wallpaper! It's nice the birds are trained to be free! They look very happy and at home in their pretty surroundings! I hope your weather cools off for you soon! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #12! Hugs, Darnell
This is amazing bird twofer. Sweet and romantic. Great work!
Your birds and cages are adorable, Megan! I love how the birds are free to fly around :) The grey and silver is beautiful among the cherry blossoms, and those two little friends look so happy in a flourish of greens. Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
Brilliant cards Megan.. a clever use of those CCD! Love the idea of cutting bits out so they could fly around.
Cooler here today.. we are pretty blessed on coast, it's not as bad as some. It's even looking like it might rain which would be a wonderful blessing, as its a month since we've had any!

Hi Megan. Love you little birds and also the background paper super.
We were covered in smoke this morning and although it has cleared from this side of the river I can't see the city. The fires were caused by the dry thunder storm and all so hard to get to. Just trying to keep cool.
Great cards Megan - and such a clever re-use of the same die as well. One bold and one very soft and gentle. Love them!
Hugs

These are both quite pretty. I especially like your Japanese style floral paper. The bird cages and birds are very cute. Nice idea to cut a little opening on one. Thanks for changing your comment settings. I am happy to be able to comment again!
Two very nicely done cards! I like the background papers that you chose and your great designs!
2 gorgeous cards. Emma
Beautiful cards and designs, both of them! Love the oriental feel of the first and muted tones of the second. Truly gorgeous! Thank you for sharing it with us at Southern Girls for our first challenge of the New Year. Hope to see you playing along again soon. Hugs, Wends xoxo SGC DT
