HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! Are you all doing anything special for those living here in the states? I think we'll be playing a little bit of fireworks for our little 4 year old .. he's been asking to play with some. :)
I really wanted to get those long dragon fireworks .. you know .. the kind that has like 10,000 or more? (but it's not legal here in Vegas .. shoots!) It starts off going "pop pop pop" and then at the very end it's like a big balled up group of fireworks and it just SLAMS and goes crazy?! SooOooo LOUD! Growing up in Hawaii .. we'd always buy so many of those. My dad would set up 3 long bamboo poles and start 3 at a time. It was so fun! :)
Anyway ... since it's Monday, it starts the beginning of a new Belles 'n Whistles Challenge. Our talented Audhild chose the theme of "Use Flowers and Pearls" .. okay .. now where can you go wrong with that?! You simply can't! Easy peasy and I love the theme!!!
Here's my card:

Love your card!! Gorgeous coloring. Happy 4th of July. Here in Norway 4th of July is just the queens birthday, but hope you have a wonderful celebration!
(and in Norway all fireworks are actually illegal except on New Years Eve...)
Happy Independence day Sunshine! I hope your day was filled with joy and laughter.
Your card is simply precious. Is that you waiting for your craft supplies??? I think I see a box in there.LOL I really love how you added the button to your ribbon/bow such a simple embellishment but it adds so much. I never think to use my buttons. Awesome job honey girl. Have a great day.
Hugs Bonnie
