More is BETTER! . . .

. . . especially when we're talking about BLING!! That's right . . . and how fortunate that I fully endorse the use of mass quantities of BLING . . . 'cuz that's what we're doing this week at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog!!  No kidding! This week's hostess is the lovely and crazy-talented Kim . . .  and she's chosen the theme . . .

Bling!!

Well, well, well . . . have I mentioned that Bling is my middle name?!! (Not really . . . it's Kay . . . I was just being metaphorical!! hehe!!) Sooooo . . . here's a look at my Bling!!
I've had this adorable Mo Manning image for nearly a year and decided it was time to bring it out for the afternoon!! This image is called "Lemons" and is available HERE in Mo's online store. Here's a close-up . . .
Wanna hear something funny? I started out making this card pretty clean & simple . . . with just a couple of baubles (hey . . . work with me here! That IS clean & simple for me!) . . . but then the card took on a life of its own!! And a bit of a side view . . .
