Four Calling Birds

Hi Peeps!  How is it going with Christmas preparations? I have most of my cards done which is unusual for me this early in the game.  Although it really helped that I started last January! This is actually my personal favourite card from this year's stash.  It is an image I did for Whimsy last year called, "Four Calling Birds" and it is also one of my fav. images I've created for them.  One of the reasons I love it is because my husband came up with the idea, so it was a joint effort between us.  That just makes it more special to me! I just giggled when he suggested I do four birds on cell phones. That does make them "calling birds" you know, heh-heh!  I also did a couple of other related images from the same Christmas carol, "ChristmasTurtle & Dove" and "Three French Hens." Maybe for next year I should do a partridge in a pear tree!
