I Cased a Card and I liked it!!

I just love these colours together, the pink and greens match each other perfectly. Please go and have a look at what the rest of the Design Team have come up with, you won't be disappointed. There are so many beautiful cards to inspire you and I hope you join us this week and show us what you come up with.
