and the Curtain Call Inspiration photo:
and, finally, my card!!!
I drew inspiration from the colors of these fab boxes, the string of lights, and the texture in the frame to the right ... you know I'll find any excuse to add a little dry-embossing!
Hope you're enjoying the day ... what day is it, by the way?
