This inspiration board just screams YES, it is spring!!! Yellow is such a happy color and I was inspired by the entire board.
This is my card for the challenge. I started with a piece of yellow card stock and stamped it with an IO gingham cover a card stamp using Versa Mark and embossed with White embossing powder. Then I cut a frame using Spellbinders rectangle dies and backed it with a pretty PTI flower die cut and put the frame over my gingham panel.
Of course, I had to add some yellow flowers backed with some greenery from Frantic Stamper and IO but instead of my traditional butter flies I used some yellow birds and a cute little bird house that I have not used for years. The sentiment comes from Sue Wilson's Ornate Ovals Just for You. Head over to the Double D Challenge Blog and see what my team mates have created. Get out your yellow supplies and be happy as you create. We are looking forward to seeing what inspired you with this challenge.

I really like how you layered the background flower die and the frame die; they look gorgeous on your handmade gingham background. Those birds are darling, and of course your floral arrangement...perfect, as usual! Well done!
