I had fun making a kaleidoscope-style image (mirroring the fantastic round design of the rug) in a different color for each of these tiny CAS notes (2.75" square), and a multi-colored one for the tote. The paper tote comes from a package of 12 favor boxes I picked up at our Dollar Tree. In keeping with a clean and simple style, I kept my embellishments to a minimum: a quick line of bordering machine stitches, a circle of decorative dots made with gold lame Smooch (available from Mark's Finest Papers), and a simple gold brad for the center.
A quick and easy hostess gift!!
Thanks for taking a peek!

Those are sweet! There's a sort of Native Indian look to them with the earth tones for the feathers. That was the first piece I came across that inspired me, but it dropped down the list when I found my iris.
