I would love to get that Tim Holtz bird cage die. I haven't found it locally. M, ACM, HL. are the only local stores. I heard a bird chirping as the video was running. Don't know if it was on the video or outside my front door where there is a birdnest and 3 baby birds that found a home in a floral grapevine wreath.
