    Thank you for sharing a very cute card. Anyone would be overjoyed to recieve such a work of art, it would lift anyone's spirit. Especially becuase it is handmade. I have always believed that something handmade is super special because the person making it has the recipient in mind the whole creative process. Great Job!!
