Cup Cake Challenge - DT CALL

The sun is shining and the birds are chirping out of my window. The first summer fly has come through the window and is buzzing around the room. After investigating around my room and sniffing for anything edible, it decided that the Adirondack paint dabbers are not worth the hassle. With its six legs dabbed in gold ink, it slipped out of the slightly opened window, leaving the sweet taste of summer echoing in my mind.

Sorry people, I am feeling a bit poetic, if a lady may. I was inspired by the picture challenge for the Cupcake Craft DT Call. The colours, here, came much brighter than they actually are although I would have liked it to be a bit lighter.
