adventure of the unintentional CASE

By now, I'm sure you know that I love to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) designs from the many talented card makers in blog land.  I especially enjoy the work of my fellow Stampin' Up!® demonstrators, most notably Watercooler members like Heidi, who does awesome work, and is now a design team member for Paper Craft Crew Challenges.  The current sketch especially got my attention because I had cut, but not used, a Smoky Slate doily while working on something else.  It wasn't quite right then, but I need a sympathy card for a coworker and I thought it would work for that.  I know that I browsed all the samples at PCC, but I only printed the sketch and set it beside my craft space while I worked out my design.  Since my doily is much larger than the one in the sketch, the other elements needed to be adjusted - I swapped out the bow for a (much larger) butterfly and decreased the size of the sentiment panel to compensate.  I also left out the flowers so more of the doily would be visible.  When I finished and sat down to write this and find my links, I noticed that my card is so similar to Heidi's that it could have been an intentional CASE.  I didn't think I remembered any of the specific samples, but evidently this one hooked into my subconscious:
