Happy Hello Card #2

Hi Girls! Happy Mother's Day and Happy Hello to all of you! I created this card for my Chemo Angel buddy, while incorporating the colors from the Splitcoast Color Challenge #217. The colors that had to be used were Cameo Coral, Garden Green & Ballet Blue. I have been a "Card Angel" for approximately a year now. As a Card Angel, you will send your assigned patient at least one card, letter, or note a week, and perhaps a small gift every now and then, but gifts are not required for Card Angels. Being a Card Angel is a great option for volunteers with limited budgets.
