Summer Goose

I know, I know, most people associate geese with Christmas, but this is a summer goose, not a Christmas one -- LOL! I made this card for today's Friday Sketcher's challenge. I don't usually put so many flowers on my cards, because I have such a hard time laying them out. Blame it on the OCD -- I can literally spend hours moving them around before I'm satisfied with their placement. But it seemed the thing to do given this adorable goose's festive summer hat. When I was a little girl I used to dream of owning a hat like this someday. Now that I'm all grown up, my fashion tastes are far more simple and practical, but I can still admire a great hat when I see it! :-)
