And the Winner is…..

Did you vote?    Are you anxiously waiting to find out the winner?

 

 

Your wait is over!  The winner is …   Sunflower Bird!   Head over to the Whimsy & Stars Studio blog to download this little cutie as a freebie while you can. (While you are there, don’t forget to sign up as a follower so you don’t miss out on any future freebies.)  He will be available only until this Saturday, Sept. 8 at Noon (Eastern Time).  After that, you will be able to find him in the Whimsy and Stars Studio store.

 

Here is a card that I put together using this new, autumn-themed image.

 

 

When I think of autumn birds, for some reason crows always come to my mind.   I wish all the crows around my house were as cute as this little bird!   (Did you know a group of crows is called a “murder””?  No wonder they have such a sinister reputation.)

You may be wondering about the other image “It’s Fall”.  Don’t worry, if you love that image as much as I do, it will be available in the Whimsy and Stars Studio store later today.

 

Thank you for stopping by!  Don’t forget to stop by the Whimsy & Stars Studio blog to download Sunflower Bird before Saturday.
