Created this St. Patrick's Day Easel Shamrock
Card using a couple Cricut cartridges: Designer's
Calendar & Paper Doll Dress Up. I knew I had seen
a Shamrock border that would work well for an
easel style card.
Closeup of card:
Entering this into the following challenges:
1. 2 Sisters unlim entries 1st entry 3/10 - 3/16
was told by another challenge that St. Patrick's Day was not Spring since the day 3/17 is 2 days before the 1st day of Spring but I see a St. Patrick's Day card by one of the DTs for this challenge so I'm entering & you can let me know if not acceptable

Thanks for the reminder Glenda. I had the challenge written in my notebook but did not have the end date correct so I thought I had missed the deadline but see that the end date is 3/16 so I entered. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!
