Every time I look at this card, I want to touch it! Don't you? ;) It looks like a snuggly little blanket which, by the way, would make a sweet baby card in your choice of colours. And I have a feeling some of you will ask so, yes, this was a publication reject for the last Paper Crafts call which didn't really come at a good time with my move and all. It was the only card I was able to submit and it was obviously rejected and I'm okay with that. I love it loads and that's all that matters. :)
