    Wow Shirley--what lovely cards!!! I really like all the layers and the die cut on the first one, but the second one with the cute bow is just adorable! Can't choose a favorite. TFS

    Both cards are stunning! I have that label die, I will have to remember that for future use with this set. I never thought of Keeping the card square. What a fabulous idea. It really draws the focus to the image! I am with you, the red and black are stunning together!!!

    Very pretty, Shirley. The red and black color combo creates a very dramatic look. I like the frame on the first one and the black/white gingham bow on the second.
