DeNami POLKA DOT Blog Hop

Welcome to DeNami's 1st Blog Hop!!  The Theme is POLKA DOTS.  How fun!   I love this little turtle, perfect for a little boy's birthday.  He fits perfect in the dot circle.   I made my fun bright colored patterned paper using the polka dot border.  I had to clean my stamp a lot- but it was worth the rainbow of colors. Some fun grosgrain ribbon was perfect to add some texture to this card.

    Love the turtle! Do you use anything special to get such a perfect bow? I never seem to tie them right and got a little device from a previous craft show-much easier!
