A Little Birdie Named Diddams, Curtain Call Act 22

I was inspired by: Wendybell at Splitcoast Stampers. I'd just changed the colors, a splash of the SU Baroque Motifs stamp set for the background and added a "wiggle" eye. So here is my Curtain Call for A Little Bird Named Diddam’s using the SU stamp set Wings of friendship for Stacey Schafer's Stamping Stage Curtain Call Color Challenge Act #22.

One day my son rescued this cute little canary who somehow was lost in a party supply store. The stores name is called Diddams, so, thats how she was named.
She sings totally like a opera singer.

Palette this week: Real Red, Pink Passion, Whisper White, Yoyo Yellow & Basic Black.
