A friend asked me to make several St. Patrick's Day cards. This was a real challenge because I do not have any St. Patrick's Day stamps. I had to borrow the word stamps.

I actually like this as it is. i think this is one of those cards that gets "flattend" when scanned, in real life I�m sure it looks much more "3-D" whith the BG-stamp and the sweet clower!

I think it is really cute! The only thing I would add, since you asked, is a mat of the dark green around the tag part...I think that would make it really pop.

I love it! I agree about the dark green mat, though... or even just a little dark green ink around the edges of the tag. But really, it's fab - perhaps St Patrick's Day just doesn't have mass appeal?

I really like the way this is layered and how you added the saying w/ brads! I agree w/ the above about maybe a dark border on the tag, but it really is nice the way you made it!

I agree with all of you the tag sort of gets lost - in real life it does look better, but maybe using green galore behind the tag would have tied it all together - I think using garden green might have blended too much with the triangle piece. Black might have been a nice addittion. Thanks for all your help!
