  1. Good morning Melissa. Your card is very cute. I like the polka dot paper. It's very cheery. I also like your little sentiment that is stamped on the Spellbinders die cut and then threaded onto the polka dot ribbon. Your little embossed umbrella is also cute. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
