A Bird in the Hand

 Festive bird and a rare attempt to use glitter.
I don't normally use glitter; I like it, but it's not my thing. I happened to have a small vial of glass glitter, so after I cut this bird shape out of cardboard, I added the glitter.
There's a first time for everything. This is also probably my last in terms of glitter. I'll leave it to the experts!
