Kate's hop is Tropical Island Inspired..here's what I created!

 

The Hula Bear is from KaDoodle Bug Designs

 I put her on a wobble so she could shake her coconuts!! (lol!!)

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Sweet Birthday Wishes

and the 2 flags are from Jaded Blossom's Flag Die.

I added some of my favorite Tickled with Teal Trendy Twine!
