I have made a couple of cards recently using the new Spring Song stamp set, and thought it would be good to use it for a man’s card.  I was really pleased with the way this card turned out, that is, until I put the greeting on it, and now I am cranky because not only is it crooked but it is not centred either! 😦 must have had a bad day that day 🙂  But I thought I would post it anyway, just so that you can see that I have those days too.  He really is a cute little bird though, don’t you think?
