And here's what I came up with:
First up, can you see my "oops"?? I used PTI's Quilted: Winter Tag die and obviously not paying attention, I glued my die cut branches from PTI's Songbirds to the backside of the tag...grrrrrrr!! And of course by the time I realized what I'd done, it was too late to peel the branches off without ripping them! Oh well, it is what it is! I water colored a piece of heavy cardstock with the greens and purples for my die cut branches, and my birds were die cut from a piece I water colored with pinks. The birds are also from the Songbirds set. The music banner was stamped with Perfect Plum ink and die cut from the same Songbirds set.
In this close up you can see that I had dry embossed the tag with a SU! folder and also sprayed the whole tag with Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spritz. A few purple enamel dots and some pink thick bakers twine help pull out the colors from the inspiration photo and finish off my tag.
You can check out all the beautiful inspiration from the DT right HERE and play along.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Your tag is so sweet Marcia, a perfect take on the lovely challenge image. I wouldn't have noticed at all, that your tag was backward. It's stunning just the same! The watercolored sprigs and birds are artsy and cheerful!
Gorgeous tag, Marcia! Would never have known there was an Ooops if you hadn't have told us! Jo x
Soooo charming, Marcia ... the colouring on the branches and birds adds such a great sense of depth to this sweet tag ... fabulous with the embossed texture! The finishing touches with the banner, dots and sparkle are delicious! What a delight, my friend! Hugs, Anita :)
I'm looking and looking, Marcia, and cannot find one thing that doesn't seem perfect to me!

I love the texture of the background so I don't see any oops, Marcia! I love the tune the birds are singing!
Wish you could have heard me "ooooohhh" when I saw that close up withe sparkle! Beautiful tag! I love the music ribbon - perfect pair for the birds!
