"The secret to life is little birds" said the poet e.e.cummings.  Here is my little bird tag.  It is one of my favorites, and I think I like the simplicity of it.  The stamps are from Tim Holtz for Stamper's Anonymous.  The little butterfly is a die cut from Stampin'Up.  The little bird cardboard die cut comes from Magenta rubberstamps.  I stamped on top of the flower petals with stamps to add extra interest.  The postal mark behind the real postal mark is a part of the background paper which I believe is from K&Co.  The white postal mark is a real postal mark.  You can find old postage stamps online at ebay, etsy.com, and other places.  Sometimes they still come with pieces of paper around them and you can cut them out for your purposes.  The ribbon is from Stampin' Up.

Enjoy!
