    Good Morning Paola

    What a beautiful card, I love the colours and thank you for introducing me to the Paper Shelter, I fell in love with their stamps. I just bought my very first digi stamp from them, I cannot wait to get home to colour the beautiful image.

    Thank you once again and have a very nice day.
