This was my first bird stamp. Now I am hooked. I have done two charts so far and this Cardinal is still my favorite. Interestingly, she looks just like one that frequents my feeders. The colors are true and the size and shape eerily identical. The project was just the right size and has a meditative vibe. The colors are soothing and as I noted true to the actual birds. If you are looking for a soothing stitch that leaves you satisfied and thinking about the nature of these animals, this is the chart for you!
