This cheerful thank you card was made for the Pals Paper Arts Theme Challenge: Gratitude and Thanks, also known as PPA10. Warm Summer Sun really "pops" against the Whisper White card base and is topped with clean punched circles of white featuring pretty matching daisies. The simple sentiment is highlighted in the lower right circle and a crisp gingham ribbon adds the finishing touch!
Companion cards were made using Tempting Turquoise, Only Orange, Green Galore, Real Red, and Pixie Pink. This set is quick, easy, cheerful, and fun! Use them yourself or make a set or two to give away! Anyone would love to receive these happy notes!
Gratitude can be expressed in many ways! I'm thankful for so many things...my work, my home, and most of all, my family. I'm thankful too for my blog readers and glad I can share my inspirations with you! Share your inspirations with someone you care about!
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to leave a comment! Tell me something you're thankful for! I love hearing from you!

I love the bright colors in your cards. These days everything is in "fall colors" and your cards step up in a very cheerful way. I like your style is very contagiously happy.
Thanks for your frequent visits to my blog and your kind comments.
