All I see around here are little brown guys. This one has such personality!

We have lots of cardinals at the birdfeeder outside our bedroom window, too. I am always shocked by their beauty. And I've been inspired by your tales of cleaning. Right now my house looks like a hurricane blew through, but that is, I hope, a stage along the way to tidiness. (My husband hopes so, too ;D.) Wonderful cardinal sketch, cara!
