I was a little scared at the perspective of pairing Regal Rose and Daffodil Delight at first, but once I pulled the cardstock out, I realized it was not as bright as I had feared.
The idea for the circle-covered Top Note came from a patterned paper I had seen online that had overlapping circles instead of regular polka dots. I figured I could reproduce the look using punched circles, so I created a whole background and ran it through the Big Shot using the Top Note die. I had already decided on using the three cute cups from the A Slice of Life set (level 1 hostess set from current minicatalogue), but in retrospect, that background would look great with a fish or mermaid image as well.

Hey Cindy!
Love the circle creation. It looks so time consuming but of course well worth the effort!
