How fun is this???  I made this anniversary card for my parents using Cricut's Art Nuveau cartridge.  I find with some of these intricate cuts (like the feathers and legs) I'm better using a larger image like I did with the hummingbird.  I think I did the hummingbird at 3.5" and these herons are 4" so the card ends up being 6x6.  While this is not a ideal size for mailing (more postage and you have to make your own envelope), I use square cards when I know I'm going to deliver it by hand.  I think next time I'll tone down the legs and beak though.  I'm going to do the dragonfly for my Mom's birthday since that is her email address and she has a dragonfly tattoo on her ankle.
