Red Birds and Tree Stump

One of my favorite cards to make is one with a little scene on it.  Here's a cheerful scene with red birds, a tree stump, grass, and a sunny sky, all on a kraft tag with a little black frame and black-and-white patterned background.  A bit of embossing adds a tree-bark texture to the stump.

Card details:

• Card stock is Neenah solar white and Papertrey Ink (PTI) pure poppy (red), new leaf (green), harvest gold (yellow), kraft, and true black.  Note: the gray border is background, not part of the card.
• My homemade patterned paper is computer-printed.  It's repeating text lines of periods and asterisks in Papyrus font. 
•  The dies are My Favorite Things fresh cut grass and PTI tag sale #7 (3-piece tag with frame), heart-2-heart #9 (birds), ad sense (sun), and party poppers (used for the tree stump).
• I used a black Copic multiliner to add dots for the birds' eyes.
• The tree stump is textured with Tim Holtz Sizzix stripes embossing folder.
• Twine is maraschino (red) by The Twinery.
