    Gorgeous colouring, Ky!! That's one of Tim's texture fades, isn't it? But I don't recognize off hand the punch or die along the left edge.

    Love your card and your bunnies...can't believe you rescued 3. We rescued one beautiful lop-eared with a deformed leg. The kids loved that it took over our foyer and slept on a doll bed that formerly housed a cloth doll...wish I had a photo to share. It was priceless
