Card Description
This card's center of interest is the Aussie baby wallaby with a kookaburra on his tail. There is a nice interaction between the two characters. The card layout is accented with a pierced, layered daisy and leaves. The photo corner in the upper left balances the weight of the daisy in the lower right, and the faux stitching borders tie everything together. Another appropriate sentiment for this card would be, "A little birdie told me..."
