What a wonderful vintage card! I like the center removed and stamping showing through that part of the doily. The weathered bg is just perfect.
Glad you joined the 'B's with another card.

Perfectly vintage and too perfectly presented. I love the doily on the main panel. I would never have thought about removing the center and a part of the bottom. Of course, when you have a mind that creates this kind of card, you would think to do this. It's a totaly fabulous card.
