Another Baby Girl

Good morning crafters and what a bright sunny morning it is too here in the north - a nice change from all the rain we've been having.

 This morning's card is another baby girl one.  Once again I've used an adorable image from a LOTV art pad - this one is Little Ones and I've also had a little play with some dies I recently purchased.  I thought the new Joanna Sheen floral die matched the flowers along the bottom of the image very nicely.
