WMS St. Patrick's Day Hop

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Waltzingmouse Stamps is celebrating with a blog hop! Head to the WMS forum to link up your creation and hop along with the other participants. There is also a thread for chatting about what you've seen and participating in the leprechaun hunt! That's right - the DT members are each hiding leprechauns on their projects. Keep track of the count and a correct guess could win you a stamp set of your choice!

Here's my card!

The plaid background was created with Off Beat Backgrounds, leaving enough room in between stripes for the shamrocks from Irish Blessings (you didn't think I'd miss the opportunity to use plaid, did you?)

The Blessing is also from Irish Blessings, which is full of wonderful phrases such as this. Appropriate for many occasions, I thought this was perfect for today. Wishing you happiness and luck - and a pot of gold .. don't forget to look for the little leprechauns, either!

Enjoy your day - I hope its lucky!
