How fun to see a card from the past. Styles change a bit, don't they? I love all the different dots on this cute new card!

It's so funny to compare the before and after.... But back then our first card was just as pretty in it's own special make. LOL! Now, we can say wow what a big difference! Super awesome on both Doreen!
Enjoy your crafty week~
