Pinwheel Card

*Click HERE for my 1 year Blogaversary giveaway!*

Hi there!  Today I'm sharing a card that I'm entering in a few challenges.  I'm entering it into  My Craft Spot Challenge #61 which is to use summery colors on your project and Little Scrap Pieces Fun Friday Challenge which is to use yellow on your project.  I searched YouTube on how to make paper pinwheels and found this video.   I needed something sturdy for the pinwheel sticks so I took the cotton off of the ends of a Q-tip and wrapped twine around it to make it colorful!  This is one of only a couple of cards that I have made that I did not use a Cricut cut!  Thanks for looking and have a great day!  :)
