Round and round card…

Before I turn in for the night…Italian timezone…I created a round card using some of my designed papers and some vellum on the bottom part.  It’s a tiny card  because I couldn’t find a large circle to cut out with my limited tools and supplies.  Then again, it’s sort of cute to work in a smaller sized layout.  I followed along the round theme of the Scrappy Frogs Challenge for this card.

One thing I learned about round cards is that they must be perfectly balanced.  Otherwise it doesn’t stand up straight, sort of lopsided, leaning like the tower of Pisa it seems.  Or maybe I just have cheap cardstock…haha!?  Maybe there’s more strength if the card is larger?  Not sure, but it turned out pretty cute in the end, so I’m happy to hit the sack now.  Thanks for looking!

    Love all the circles and how they’re made into flowers. The brads are a perfect touch! Thanks so much for participating in our challenge and good luck!
