I sponged the background of my postcard with Distress Inks and then stamp and stencilled over the top. I fashioned a bus stop from card and stamped a line of PaperArtsy birds onto the postcard. I rifled through my scraps box and found some suitable offcuts to stamp the bird images again and then just cut out their bodies. They were glued onto the stamped bird images on the postcard before adding the dictionary definition.

Your queue of birds is such fun! Especially at a bus stop. **snicker**. Love the colorful background for the birds.
There's something missing on the page... the British flag! Isn't Queuing Quintessentially British? The birds are fun, it's a brilliant depiction.
I first heard that word while taking an undergrad software writing class. I agree it is closely associated with British culture, and seldom if ever used in the States. We say "stand in line," which is again using three words when one will suffice. I adore how you depicted a queue, and applaud you for using it. Those birds know how to wait in line, don't they (grin)?
Your little queue of birds is so cute. A fun interpretation of the word. Hugz
A gorgeous fun Postcard Maggie made me smile love the queue of birds, queue was the first word came to me with birds but as I used Birds for B I decided on quote.
