Big congratulations on your new family member, and I bet all of you are just over the moon with happiness. Best wishes to all. And I love all the 'paint chips' on this cute DIY card. What a clever way to show off this cute digi, and especially loved the extra detail of the 'rollup wallpaper' and the embossing on the green & gold in the corner. TFS &Hugs.
