Adorable!!! I love that mushroom cut and the colors you used.
ReplyDeleteHey - great card but even better is that I learned something! I knew that you could hold your stylus on the image to see it BUT I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD EXPAND IT TO MAKE IT LARGER - can't wait to try that! 65 yo eyes make it difficult to see those little tiny images! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
