To be honest, I struggled with this challenge. My first idea did not translate well to paper and after that my muse must have gone on vacation. I kept drawing a blank because I couldn't figure out a way to use the image as a focal point and its intended purpose which seems to be as a more behind-the-scenes accent. Finally, I decided simple was best and created this card:

These tags all feature the newly released frames designed to work with punches and Nestabilities, so they were quick and easy to assemble.

Very pretty, Jess! I love the addition of the little tags inside, too. These would get plenty of use from any of our fellow papercrafters. :) Kelly
