Twins birthday

My twin nieces will be 2 next Sunday, so Mum asked me to make a card for her to give to them (I still have my own to do!).  I thought this wee LOTV image was very suitable for twin girls and I matched it up with pink paper from my latest Papermania pad and some Docrafts lemon linen effect card.  I used a Nestabilities die for the scalloped mat and a SU punch.  The butterfly is an x-cut punch and the ribbon is from SU.  I printed the sentiment on the computer and cut it out using a SU punch.  For the layout I followed the sketch on this week's Friday Sketch Challenge.  As I have used a couple of dies I am entering this weeks Allsorts Challenge - 'Any die will do,' and I can also enter the CCT challenge - 'Here comes summer,' and the LOTV one - 'Time to play.'  The colours look a bit strange - I thought I would just use natural daylight, but it has turned out very grey!  I've also managed to cut off the top and bottom of the shaped card (from Craftwork cards).
