Card on Stamper's Showcase at Stamping 411

What a pleasant way to start the day!  To find that a card I created was on the Stamper's showcase at Stamping 411.
I had a lot of fun making this card and coloring the turtle was just sheer pleasure.
Here is the card and the link to the original post:http://craftymariasstampingworld.blogspot.com/2012/01/happy-retirement-stamping-411-239.html
