I love the limes too - makes me excited for some delicious limeade this summer! Thanks so much for joining in the hop and sharing your creativity!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty spring card. Its time to make cards with the inspiration I have seen today.
ReplyDeleteAdorable card! Definitely makes me think of spring! As for what it means for me: it's sad in a way... 3 of my hubby's 4 deployments have been during spring...so they get lonely. Anyway - as a military wife I must say thank you for helping OWH keep families together in heart despite being apart because of duty.
ReplyDeleteOh how cute is this!!
ReplyDeleteYummy card!
