Thank you, Karen, for a great challenge! I don't know what I'm going to do with this, but I couldn't not try to make this cute bag! It was so much easier than I thought it would be. I do have a cousin that's looking for a basket of cards for a basket raffle for her charity. Maybe this will be my "basket". You can't see in the picture, but I used DP for the base and put it in upside down, so when you look in the bag, you see a turquoise turtle shell pattern. I got a little too matchy on the buttons, but they are such nice buttons, that I decided instead of using pink or lime plastic buttons I wanted the fancy ones.

This is an adorable tote. My niece is really into zebra stripes and she would flip out over this for sure! I think this tote could be used for many purposes (chocolates for one!). It would also be a great basket for the charity you mentioned. ~Karen.

Fab wild print. Oh yes, do use this to present your cards. I quite often give gifts of them and I'll definitely be doing that with mine. I see you went for buttons, too! I hope you didn't spend as long finding matching ones as I did, LOL. In the end I used different ones on the back and front, I'd spent far too long already rummaging through my button box.
