  1. I love this card! I made it in burgundy on a square card with 2016 vertically in the extra space. I made two changes. A small triangle cut in the top of the shirt to appear as a collar and cut the arms/hands way shorter as the way it is designed uses a ridiculous amount of paper and only adds to the bulk of the card. I couldn't find the enamal dots, so I used puff paint.

    1. Hi Diana:)
      Glad you enjoy the card. Sounds like great additions. I sometimes use layers of paper to create depth in my designs. Thanks so much.
