Springtime Colors

Greetings everyone!  You ever have one of those days when you know you should be doing a bazillion things around the house, but all you want to do is papercraft?  It's one of those days for me.  It's a hot, humid, overcast day (and I think I'm coming down with a cold) so I'm not motivated AT ALL to do what I should. (BTW, sorry the pic looks off - I'm not even motivated enough to retake the picture.  How sad is that?)

Anyway, this card I used my new Butterfly Dreams stamp set and the PTI Anniversary set Round and Round.  I don't have the dies for the Mat, but I did notice that this image from Round and Round fits perfectly inside a spellbinders Labels 4 die.  Isn't it lovely?  I used some Colorbox inks for the butterflies and Perfect Plum for the circle.  I found this ribbon (which matches Berry Sorbet PERFECTLY) at Joann's over the weekend. 
Next up I have another birthday card inspired by the card I had done earlier with the scalloped circles and matching buttons.  This time I cut the small flowers from the PTI die and added buttons.
Finally, I love these little chick buttons from the Everyday Button Bits set by PTI.  Aren't these colors great together for a monochromatic card?  I used Hawaiian Shores and Aqua Mist and some Chocolate Taffeta ribbon from SU!.  I used Bermuda Bay to stamp the sentiment and wings.
