Hangin' With My Peeps!

Just a few more Easter cards I've been finishing up.  This is a cute image from Whimsie Doodles. 

I remember growing up the Peeps we would get in our Easter Baskets.  My dad LOVED the Peeps.  We didn't have all the different colors they have now - we had Yellow and Pink.  =)

So, when I saw this image, I thought it would be cute to use.

I've been fiddling with my Flower Soft lately and included some on this card.  If I had the blue and purple, I'd have flower softed them too! =)
