I love kites...."Let's go fly a kite, up where the air is ..." (Mary Poppins) is now swimming in my head. :) It made me smile for sure! :)

So stinkin' cute, Julie! I really love how you combine DP's to add beautiful texture and color to your designs. I'm not so good at that, so I really need to study your work to learn how to do it right. Lovin' those darling kites, too!!

Terrific card! Love the dp and your fab kite strings with the bows. I used the twine for kite strings, but not with bows, and I LOVE the idea. Thanks:)
