I was greeted with spring smiles at the mailbox today thanks to Christine Melton and her handcrafted dimensional Carrot Bunny cards!  If you are not familiar with Christine's amazing Purely by Heart Designs creations, you'll most definitely want to check out her website.  The card pictured above is a tri-fold cutout of a bunny pulling a carrot trainload of little bunnies that makes an absolutely delightful shelf accent for your spring and Easter home decorating projects.   Christine has also used turned these carrot bunny characters into a sweet Spring popup 3-D card which displays perfectly as a home accent and is sold through her Etsy Store.  You can also find more of Christine's work posted on my February 1, 2023 BLOG  post .   Even if the snow is still on the ground, Spring Begins in the Carrot Patch!  Whether it's greeting cards, fabrics, clipart, paper prints or trace and transfer line art patterns, Annie's whimsical characters and art will keep you busy wit
