Ants in a Picnic Basket...& a meet-up!

Hey all! I'm sorry I didn't have anything to share yesterday. I wanted to participate in the Ways to Use it Challenge...until I saw what the challenge was and realized I don't own wire. Oye! So anyway, I was jonesin' to make a card today!

This is for Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #50 that she just posted this a.m. Awesome sketch!! Thanks Beate!!

The inside of the card includes an Apricot Appeal strip across the bottom with the ladybugs from Garden Whimsey stamped all the way across. I wish I had small ants to go with this WS image, but I don't so I had to find something *else* that would fit the picnic theme. Are the ladybugs okay?? I also wonder (now that I'm looking at the pic on the screen if I should have used a red strip on the inside versus the apricot...hmmmm). Oh well, it's done. The Apricot panel behind the main image is up on dimensionals.
