Swim Party Thank You Parrot

This parrot is really so very cute that's I've had to make cards using this cutie, not just for inspiration for our Die Cut Divas' challenge this month, but to send a cute hello for the summer.  Be sure to visit Die Cut Divas challenge of "hot" and enter your"hot" card in a "hot" challenge

You have to love this parrot.  Any color and he's just adorable.  I wanted to use the new door die because a friend opened up her house for swimming to a small group of us who work/worked in the same offices.  I wanted to be sure we had a thank you that was fun and summery.  I think this filled the bill.

I used a black striped card for the background and used the door frame the new Christmas Door die set, (which I personally think looks great against the stripes) and a limb from the new Winter Bird die set with my fun parrot die.  The sentiment is perfect as a description of our day floating and relaxing.
