B utterfly Bouquet became available on March 2nd just in time for Spring weather in my little corner of the world. The Butterfly Brilliance stamp set and coordinating Brilliant Wings dies will carry over to the new upcoming Annual Catalog scheduled to be release in early May 2021.

I couldn't resist including a photo of the dogwood trees in bloom I saw while on a drive the other day. When I see them bloom, grass turning green, and buds popping out on shrubs and trees, I know displaying all their varied shades of blooms. There is nothing like the renewal of the Spring season!
