Sunshine and Summer

Hi, thanks for stopping by.

 

The sun is out here (makes a change, it seems forever since the sun showed it's face!).  With this in mind, I decided to use lots of bright, happy, sunny colours today.  So we're all about oranges, reds and yellows.

1ST MAT - Orange 'Cricut' paper (4" x 5 1/2")
