Pinwheel Card


After seeing a tutorial on the Stars & Stamps blog showing how to make a pinwheel card, I had to give it a try. I used different pieces from a pack of Memory Box paper for this. They're all in soft pinks, greens, and cream colors and look much prettier IRL. I used a Cuttlebug ef for the background (sorry, the name of it escapes me) and used a brad and flower from my stash. The sentiment is by MFP and it was done on a Spellbinders fancy label diecut. This is a great way to use up some of those small scraps you have lying around, so I'll definitely be making more of these!

OMG, Carol, I have not seen a pinwheel card made this way. I love it! I cut pieces out to make one last week and never put it together. Mine was a lot different than this. Awesome job!!!

Love everything about your card and will try to pinwheel. It is amazing how embossed backgrounds really dress up a card. Thanks for the idea.
