I’m a bit of a ‘Paperaholic’ and I keep little bags of scraps from papers I love. Magnolia papers are one of these. I was very pleased in this case to find a small piece of the Hummingbird paper to cut the little birds from to add to my image, they fit in perfectly, so sometimes it pays to be a paper hoarder. LOL
