Hi Roxie! Glad to have you with us this month. Haven't hung out with you here on SCS in ages, lol. Your card is fabulous and I don't usually like torn edges but those are terrific!

This card took my breath away -- what a great fresh take on patriotic. I love the swirly die and the way you cut the layers underneath to match. (I have a scrapbook sample from a magazine I've been trying to copy and now you've shared the secret!)

Wow, Rox, this is FABULOUS! I love the swirly die and the flag together with the sanded background. It is all reminiscent of our early beginnings as a nation and now how we celebrate with beautiful fireworks! Perfection!!!
