You Make My Heart Leap

I love this little frog.  I thought I would originally make a love card with a frog couple.  But after multiple changes, I just ended up with one frog on the front - and no sentiment.   I think I could use this for a birthday or other general occasion card.

A2 sized card = 5.5" x 4.25"

I used digital paper purchase from Etsy.  The frog came from the Silhouette store.  I also used a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches (#233).
