Boy, is this stamp set perfect for me right now, because I really do need a vacation!  I just love this cute little stamp set!  I decided to do a CAS center step card.  I colored the palm tree with my Spectrum Noir pens and added a little star fish button in the sand at the bottom of the palm tree.  I used the "Scenic Selections" set for the birds.
