This pinwheel pattern was another OWH 4th of July challenge that I was able to make today during the virtual cardmaking party. This is Pinwheel #3, the third pinwheel pattern published on the site. These pinwheels have all been great and really fun to make. Special thanks to Kate for providing another nice tutorial, as she does every Tuesday at OWH Stars and Stamps.
