Beautiful color palette and I love that cute House Mouse image. And, the ribbon treatment is perfect for it.

Question? Who doesn't like the House Mice? Answer: Nobody!! I loved your color scheme of green that you carried through the whole card and then the bow & ribbon with blue and green really set off the whole card. It was very striking.
