Fall Note Card for Daughter

Made this Fall Note Card for daughter since she is heading back to college for Fall semester 2011 so she will write me. Made note cards for her last year and she wrote (not lengthy notes but a note nonetheless) so figured I would make new ones for this yr.

I did not use any foam adhesives to pop anything up so note card would mail for regular postage.
