Chills and Thrills for a Bright and Cheerful Challenge!

Here's my first card for Lost Coast Portal to Creativity's January's Bright and Cheerful Challenge 193. 

I got the flu as a Christmas present, so I started 2025 feeling dizzy and blah. Apparently, I got confused and missed the "cheerful" part of the challenge, but I did nail the bright and dizzy elements. 

Here's my card created with the Alfred Hitchcock Standing Rubber Stamp by Carmen's Veranda with the Perspective Floor Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs.
