I wish I'd done the pearls a bit different bottom right but hey ho! never mind. In fact I've got very carried away with the pearls haven't I - ROFL - and also not quite sure why her hair is silver - I think it must be my fever with this cold - it's sending me a bit loopy !!!!

Ah well, it's Saturday again - so I really hope you can all relax and have a lovely weekend. It doesn't look like the weather will be improving any time soon, so I will be staying indoors and keeping warm! Today we had thunder and hail that covered the whole street in ice. I've never seen anything like it - there was also a river running down the road - I'm actually wondering whether we should trade our car in for a boat !!!! LOL
Take Care
Love Sue xx

Hi Sue, what a wonderful card! Love the colours - they certainly are cheerful on the dull, drizzly day that we have today.
Wonderfully cute image (and I sometimes am tempted to go for a different hair colour than the norm, but generally chicken out - so you're braver than me!) and perfectly coloured.
I think the pearls are a great touch as well.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
Sarah
