BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES

Good morning, and welcome to my blog.  I've woken up to a beautiful morning; the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and the birds are all out singing. 

Today I have another sketch for 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. We have two new sketches each month and a retro sketch from the past, so there's plenty to choose from.  

Sketch #335

When I designed this sketch last year, I had in mind that you could use all the design paper, since some of it would fit together perfectly.  I tried to do this here, but in the end I wanted to colour a beautiful butterfly. Which I did from Pattie's Creations.  Don't forget to drop by Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and see what our designers have created.
