WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INSPIRATION?

Fantabulous Cricut is having a spring Crawl. fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com They are also having   a spring inspired challenge.  I have made a lot of umbrella cards lately and frankly I am sick of the rain.  The sun came out so I wanted to put on a tank top.  And this is where I got inspiration for a spring card
