I also have This dragonfly card with the same scraps.

I made the card yesterday at the same time as this one. I thought it was interesting to see the two next to each other.

The dragonfly was cut using my Cricut from the image set called Spring Fling.

I layered it to make the wings lift up a little bit.

The patterned paper that is green is unknown but the blue is by Sunborn

So the blue had been part of a glue drip accident. 

Therefore, I colored him with a flicking motion with a Crayola Brush Tip marker.

Then...I threw it in my drawer. So when I made this background from blue scraps of paper and I looked in the drawer and came across this dragonfly. So, they look okay together. I added a sentiment by Hampton Arts. Thanks for...Oh wait, there’s more...

Here are some other cards that I found when I put the word dragonfly in the search box. The cards are all different.
