When I saw that this challenge was LIFE IS A GIFT I began searching through my gift boxes and discovered I had an unopened package of Bakers Boxes. Not to be discouraged because I have nothing to put inside the box for the moment, I thought it could certainly be useful in the future. Our close neighborhood celebrates each of our birthdays so I know it will be well received with a few cookies inside.
I used a 2 inch strip of DSP for the band. There is a gap where it does not fit completely around the box but the oval dies take care of that problem hiding the gap beneath.
Inspiration comes from a decorated box by Margaret Knight found on Pinterest.

What a beauty. I love all the shades of green you used on this. The butterflies are perfect with the foliage and sentiment stamp. I think you could just give this to someone empty and they would love it...of course, they would love it more with a couple cookies for sure.

Your assortment of greens and even the butterfly in dark green is so beautiful.
