I don't think I would have thought to do that. But I will in the future - and think of you when I do!<br />I love the (un-intended)polka dot cover up story too. I can't tell you how many of my cards have a 'covert ops' story to go with them. (Paper, bling, extra layer, punch, flower....you name it....if you see it on my card...you can always think "hmmmm....wonder if she had that planned all along or if there is an OOPS under there."<br /><br />Great card - delightful story - and I actually think the butterflies POP even more with the addition of the polka strips.<br /><br />Later my friend....<br />Nancy in Iowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07240719067297017393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938369753753381325.post-5752345855187214682012-09-06T06:40:15.642-05:002012-09-06T06:40:15.642-05:00Fabulous card and I love the red, black and white....Fabulous card and I love the red, black and white.

Love the card, especially the color combo and the polka dots! Oh, yes, I'm familiar with fire ants. Although we don't have them here in California, I met several of them more than once when I visited my daughter then living in Houston. Nasty little critters, they are! Can't blame you for running into the house pulling off your clothes!

I've never been brave enough to try to stamp the antennae. I figure I'll mess it up less by drawing them. But I still smudge. Great coverup. I wouldn't have guessed it.

I think it looks like you planned it that way. I'm always so happy when I can cover up a boo boo. I love the red, white and black combo, always have. As for your little ant problem, I would have given anything to have been there and hear what Jim had to say. Enjoy your day and stay off the cement.
