Happy Easter to Ewe

This cute card was from my crafty friend Gill who received my card and bucket of flowers. Sheep are my favourite animals as they are so cute, it was really thoughtful for my friend to put this on the Easter card. :) I also received a Easter egg shaped like a sheep. I'd like to thank Gill again for this wonderful gift.
