Squiggle Fly Challenge makes it hard on me-CAS!!!! WINNER!!

Holy Cow!  For someone that loves to add and add to a card and simply adores embellishments, this week's Challenge 21 on Squiggle Fly really threw me for a loop!  Rhonda's Rowdy Rascals threw down the gaunklet to make a card that was Clean And Simple- No Patterned paper.
I used an Embossed card front-I love these little birds colored up with Copics.  I used the Squiggle Fly Sentiment from the "I Miss You" set by Lynne Stansbery that also has an adorable cat with these big beautiful eyes!  Added a patterned grosgrain ribbon, but no bows!  I'm on a roll now-I will have to use this simple format on more cards!  It was so easy to put together!
I would like to enter this in the following challenges:
