It's called the Wizard of Oz because I kept thinking of the line, "We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto." I was thinking of the line because we've been under tornado watch all day and counting. There was a tornado in downtown Atlanta last night, but thankfully, we're about 50 miles NE of there.
On to the card. There are a few layers of colored c/s, then the black dots dp. I've had this for a while and it seemed perfect for this. I really wanted a stripe dp down the side, to imitate the material on the bag. But didn't have any that looked right. So I got out the markers and a ruler and made my own striped dp. I think it turned out ok and reasonably straight.
I used the birthday folder on a strip of the green and the horizontal pink piece. I swiped the Kpad across the inside of the folder and used it on a piece of white c/s. I cut out a few of these white/inked pieces and attached to the pink. The big button is two glued together. I took the shank off of the white one and glued it in the center of the big green one.
TFL and if y'all see us fly by in our house, be sure to wave.

Wow! Fabulous job on creating your own striped dp, Julie! It looks great with the polkadots, and I love how you put the white over the pink panel. Fun, fun card but where's Toto?
