You are Special - Hand Stamped Sentiments #341

Yesterday I was sitting in my swing chair under the lilac tree trying to identify the various birds I was hearing.  I could identify some, but not all, so I played a You Tube video to help with that.  Before I knew it I heard rustling in the branches above me followed by some bird calls.  I could not see this bird well, only a flash of yellow as it flew off.

This inspired my card for the sketch challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments #341
