Blue Jay

I kind of surprised myself...it is one of those "how many kinds of birds can I make out of one bird stamp??" "What do you think of my Blue Jay?"
Would you believe it is the same bird stamp that was used in the previous card?? I do confess that I had to find my dh's bird book to check the coloring..NOT BAD! Next comes a cardinal then a painted bunting, thats for another day.

I took a look at what the color challenge was, looked at a few cards then decided that I really liked the color combination of Not Quite Navy, Kraft, and Baja Breeze. Baja breeze fits the day here... sunny, 62 degrees with a slight breeze out of the South. I imagine the day will get even warmer as the clouds clear.

The "dots" are pale blue pearls, they show better IRL.
