Another Swap Card!

This is the second swap card I created for a recent swap.  I used Connie Babbert's excellent tutorial for the Flip Card, which can be found at http://inkspiredtreasures.com/?s-Flip+Card+Tutorial.  Here is a picture of my card:

When you pull on the ribbon at the top, the tag pulls up the picture of the birds, owl and birdcage, revealing a small window with a sentiment in it--it is pretty awesome!  Here is what it looks like open:

And another view shows the tag pulled out:
