This card is designed using the Operation Write Home Sketch #66. Because my flower was a little lumpy, my scan isn’t the best. This is a simple sketch that works well with a fairly large image. This kitty looks very much like the “outside” cat we feed. Thanks for checking-in.

This pinwheel pattern and an accompanying tutorial were featured on Operation Write Home’s Stars & Stripes blog last week. One really nice thing about this pattern is that you can use up your scraps to make a really nice design! It pieces together quickly, so I plan to make some more of these for OWH. Thanks for visiting.

This card is based on the current sketch at Card Positioning Systems (CPS): Sketch #212. My interpretation is a little bit different, since it was supposed to feature banners strung across it. But I kept seeing flowers with the leaves hanging down (sort of like banners).
