My sweet mother's birthday is Monday. I'm afraid she won't be having a very pleasant day, since she has to have her second round of chemotherapy today. By Monday she'll be feeling awful. It breaks my heart to know that she has to suffer so.
One of the things the doctor and staff has told her to do is to try to keep her daily activities as normal as possible. So I'm going to send this card, and keep it upbeat, just like things are normal when they really aren't.
Since I used the Window Sheet with such success on the Pterodactyl yesterday, I decided to try it with a
spiral pop-up card for the second card in class yesterday. I really like the way the acetate is nearly invisible, so the butterflies simply float up, dancing, as the card opens. (If you click on the image to enlarge, and then click it again, you can just barely make out the glue dot on the back panel.) I think the butterflies will bring Mom a smile.
Helpful hint: If you use a punch to cut the circle for the spiral, place a sheet of paper behind it. There's less chance the punch will get stuck on the acetate.
