Rainbows and Turtles birthday card for the library.
Rainbows and Turtles birthday card Back in January we made the Rainbows and Turtles birthday card at both libraries. This one could very easily have been a baby card too. Okay, the rainbows that are from the FREE Sale-a-Bration DSP called ‘Sunshine & Rainbows’. Adding in the cutest punch bundle Turtle Friends. It really is this cute! I think that the polka dot shell might push it over the top for me. However, it might be the cloud look that was used from the Basic Borders dies. I think I know a couple kiddos that would laugh if they got this for a birthday card. How about you?? The ‘Shell-ebrate’…
