Hi Tracey--so happy you are helping me celebrate my birthday. I love all the talk about ice cream--gotta get some of that today, for sure. Your card is absolutely gorgeous, and you have used one of my favorite sets--yay. Here's to hoping to stamp butterflies and eat ice cream together one of these days.
