March 2016 Paper Pumpkin

Merry Little Wish Bag

Merry Little Wish Bag

No time to make a card today, but I found a little time this week to finish up a couple of Paper Pumpkin bags that were left over in my craft room from the In the Bag Kit: The first one just uses the circles and letters from the kit, and may get more embellishments at a later date. It’s looking a wee bit plain for a party bag 🙂   For the second one, I turned the blue circles over and used the plain white side, then added circles of wild wasabi behind the letters. I cut a star…
