Birthday Piggies

I know the photo quality is lousy--iPhone photo.  Sorry. :oS

Lil had two birthday parties to attend this weekend and thought I should use the "Button Buddies" stamp set for the birthday cards.  She loved the cherries as well and wanted to use those.  I told her I didn't think they were very "birthday" and she said we could just put birthday hats on them.  That made me think of this sweet little piggy and I knew he would be fabulous with a birthday hat. :o)

Since the parties were for a 7 year old and 6 year old, I figured Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink and sparkly paper were the way to go. :o)  The pom pom trim and button added the perfect finishing touches.

I find there are times when I struggle with 3"x3" cards, and other times, they just come together in a snap.  The past two cards have been like that.  I think it must be this cute set. :o)
