Hi everyone!!  I have to tell you that this card was totally shared with me by my upline, Marilyn.  I'm not sure if it was a swap or her own creation, but it's beautiful enough to share with you for sure!!This card features the Beautiful Peacock stamp set.In real life, this card is even prettier!  The colors are Lemon Lime Twist, Tempting Turquoise, and Dapper Denim.  Uh oh ... do you know what that means?!  There's not only Sale-a-bration products that are going away...
