Let's make a scrap based card!

Do you love playing with paper?
Every other Saturday, Outlawz Challenges has a "Paper a La Mode" challenge

Here is my card for you today using an image from Createful Heart called,  Northern Saw-wet Owl
The challenge theme is to use your scraps.  I thought i'd show in photos how i accomplished this card.

I always try to die cut what i want to use for cards by die cutting away from the edge as you can see in this first photo. 
I also cut out a rectangle from the piece on the top right to use for the bottom right.
As you can see there is a section that isn't covered with the green/cream on the right.
Check out how i covered that in the last photo.

The green stripe was a piece left over from a diagonal cut that
 i used as a diagonal on another card

When i cut my circles, i save the outside "frame"

When i layer my paper, i cut circles or squares out from the first layers that don't show.
Can you see the tails i used to cover the section at the bottom right?
Those pieces were cut from the scraps i had used on this card that were too long.

Some of the scraps came from:
