A colorful card featuring a bunny with flowers and ladder on a green background. Text reads: "Hello, Friend!" and "Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Moments Release."

Hello Lovelies! Today, I'm sending a Springtime Hello to a bestie with the help of the Special Friend Stamp Set and some other goodies from the Beautiful Moments Release! I think one of the best times to send a paper hug to a special friend is when you have absolutely no reason to.

Bunny has not had his growth spurt yet and needs a ladder to reach his daffodils!
