    You've been a busy bunny! :-) The chicks are adorable, and I love the many ways you showed how they could be used on cards! The Easter egg one was my favorite too, but really - great cards all of them!

    Very cute chickies. It is interesing all the neat things you can do with the fancy cutters. Maybe one of these days I can get one of those -- most of my stuff is hand cut -- with the exception of a few punches. I like how you arranged all the chicks on the cards. Thanks for sharing.
