Honey Bear Collection

My love of tea

inspired me to create this

"Honey Collection" clip art!

It's so darned cute.

And it's interactive -- 

meaning you can dress up your

two styles of honey bears

and the honey pourer

with the other clipart provided.

There's a bee of varying sizes,

a 3 types of honey wands, two types of spoons, 

a heart with the word 'honey' and 

honeycombs.

And I threw a couple of backgrounds 

to make it easy to make cards.

It'd be so sweet for Mother's Day 

or Father's Day coming up!

Also perfect for baby showers, a 

spring or summer party,

Valentine's Day, engagement, anniversary, birthdays, thank you cards... 

basically for anyone and anything you're sweet on!
