ReplyDeleteMy dream is to live in a cottage by the sea, just like this one! And you even have my favorite tuxedo kitty waiting for me. How perfect is that! I'm glad you chose this song too. I wanted to use it but it didn't fit with my image. I'm always glad I stopped by!
ReplyDeleteVal, just perfect !!! It suits my beach-mood so well....I'm still living off my vacation memories !
ReplyDeleteYou know, I saw this and oohed and aaahed and admired all the colors and shapes and little kitty. But then I saw that it was a CARD, and not just any card, but a die cut card. I just about fell over from the cleverness! Fantastic stuff!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so evocative and charming. One of life's greatest pleasures is to find 'treasure' on the seashore and take it home. What perfect music too!
ReplyDeleteYou really find a different way to create a cute card every single time.. wonderful!..
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely card and charming verse. I love the colors you use in your work, and especially this one, it truly evokes the feel of a beautiful summers day.
ReplyDeletemakes me want to visit the beach, but I am in the office all day, every day, all year... ok, i'll stop now.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I love the type with it! That's definitely a poster for "Beach, Here I Come!" :)
