Blue Skies are Coming

It's Saturday!!  That means it's time for another challenge from Di's Digi Designs.
The challenge this time is: Lots of Squares
And here is my card for your inspiration:
The card base is a 5 1/2 in square and the image panel was cut with a square die.  The patterned paper in the background is full of squares (though you really can't see much of it) and the yellow paper has a plaid/square pattern on it.  For a fun touch, I paper pieced the umbrella with two coordinating patterned paper scraps.  And I actually printed the image out twice so I could cut out the animals and adhere them on top of the second image to give more dimension (and make it easier to piece).  To play up the sentiment, I added a die cut sun peeking out behind some gray clouds (which will soon be floating away).  I used some clear Nuvo drops to add rain droplets to the umbrella and the little flower.  And I finished it off with some clear droplets from Kat Scrappiness.
I hope you will get a chance to play along with us; I can't wait to see what you create.  And make sure you hop over to the Di's Digital Designs blog to see what the rest of the team has made for this challenge.

Supplies: 
Stams: Di's Digi Stamps "Umbrella Pals" digi; Verve "Beautiful You" sentiment
Dies: MFT  sun burst die and "Blueprints 14" square die; Paper Smooches "Cute Clouds"

Challenges:
Pixie's Crafty Workshop #384--anything goes with snippets (anything goes with snippets--the papers for the umbrella were cut from scraps, and the background piece (though very large was cut from a scrap of 12 x 12 paper).  The sun and clouds were also cut from scraps.)
