Cute Lil' Bee's for SSCB!

Hey there Bleeps (Blog Peeps!)
After my morning workout, I thought I'd do a quick post of my finished card for Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog before getting started on my chores for the day!!! The theme was Spring Flowers!!! When I think of spring , I think of bees buzzing around......just waiting til' you turn your back, LOL!!! But these bees won't sting....I promise....they're just too cute!!! This is one of my all time fav Stampin' Up! stamp sets, can you see the little trail marks I made for the lil' bees too?!?!?! I've also been practicing my watercoloring with SU! markers....I think I'm getting better....whatcha' think?
Well, I do hope you like my little buzzin' bees....I hope you have a BEE-U-TIFUL Day!!! Thanks for stopping by!!!;)
