I'm still working on my box of snippets and for this card I pulled out some strips of Lawn Fawn pattern papers and adhered them to a piece of scrap card to make the background. The colors and patterns remind me of spring, so I went with the colors of the season. I used a retired SU! stamp set from 2017 called "Hey Chick" to stamp the eggs with legs (LOL) and the square sentiment. I used snippets of pastel cardstock to make the mats for the squares. I used a $1 stamp set I've had for years to create the eggs, and colored them with glaze pens before fussy cutting and then adding a little piece of die-cut grass with each one - done with a SNSS grass border die. The HAPPY EASTER sentiment was done with another $1 stamp set, and I die cut the words with MFT label dies in 2 different sizes. has anyone saved all those precious $1 stamps from years gone by? I still have a drawer full of them that I often forget to use.
I'm sharing this with the Retro Rubber Challenge #131 which is a tic-tac-toe grid. I used the diagonal from the top left which is eggs, die cut or punch, patterned paper.
I'm also sharing this with the Cute Card Thursday Challenge #627 - Easter
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all a healthy and happy day. Keep smiling - at least that doesn't cost anything yet! :)

This is such a fun Easter card, Carol. I love the little chick. You got some great stamps for a $1 and used them so cute. I still have older stamps too and still use them. It's fun to get them out and go through them once in a while to remember what you have. It's like getting all new stamps!
OH! My goodness this is fabulous Carol, love how the eggs are sitting on the grass and the "eggs with legs" are fab, great papers and design, so is the sentiment, LOVE this card.
