Spring is Here! PinWheel Tag!

I know spring is here because every spring a dove comes and builds a little nest and lays eggs on our patio. We watch her teach the birdies to fly. Last year one little one didn't make it. It was so sad. We are hoping this year that all of the babies will fly away. Since spring just lasts for a short time in Arizona we have to enjoy it before it is too hot to go outside! 

I had just a few minutes to sneak in my craft room and make a quick tag for my next skittles order! I am so pleased with how spring this turned out!

    Such a fantastic tag Carri! The pinwheel is awesome and just love all the fun elements you added!
    Great texture!
    Can't believe you have a little nest of birdies...I never see birdies there when we visit. Probably to hot though. How fun to watch them and see them grow.
    I miss AZ..we were there last Sept but just a QUICK trip as my daughter was getting married the following week. I hope to get back there in Sept again. Will have to get together again:)
    Have a great wknd!
