Sprinkles of Life - Three Scoops Please

Another card from Stampin' Up's new Sprinkles of Life.  This is not my design, but I thought that it was delightful.  I predict that this will be a very popular stamp set, especially because it benefits Ronald McDonald House Charities.  This set features ice cream, trees, clouds, flowers, a basket or cupcake, rain, and 8 sentiments.  22 stamps in all and so versatile.
