More Easter Fun from Digital Delights (Grab your shades for this one! LOL)

Happy Monday Everyone!
It's getting closer and closer to Chocolate Day, oops I mean Easter :), and Wendy has created some more super cute Easter designs that are just perfect for Easter cards, gifts, baskets and scrapbook pages too!
I couldn't resist the latest Boy and Girl especially as the boy reminds me so much of my 3 year old son Carter. In fact when he saw the card he said it was him and was insistant that the Easter Bunny would be bringing him an egg almost as big as he is!


As well as the cute images I had to include a few challenges too:

Stamp, Scrap and Doodle have a recipe and want Pink or Purple and Buttons and Ribbon
Lili Of The Valley want an Easel Card
Sketch Saturday had a great Sketch that worked with the two images and the easel card
Paper Sundaes wanted a Multifold Easter or Spring

These certainly are a cute pair and I know I'll be using them again before Easter is over.
I hope you liked them too :)
