The challenge was to use circles on our card. I saw this challenge before I went to bed and was thinking about the cancellation stamp in the new Mark's Finest Papers set called "ALL POSTAL". It is a circle. So after thinking about it all night, I got started with the circles on my card. Yesterday I had stamped these poppies onto a page from an old encyclopedia and water colored them. I am currently using my "H" encyclopedia and the column about Hawaii caught my eye and I thought would look really neat. I might have got a little carried away with circles, if you count all the "O's" in the writing, the circles with the buttons and pearls and the circles behind the poppies and the doily, I counted 175 total with all but 4 on the crazy side. I also used the postal die cut to go with the post card theme. I kinda liked how this card turned out because it was very CAS on one side and not on the other.

Hmmm......I didn't count all the "o"'s in the article on Hawaii, but I will take your word for it that there are plenty of circles. You know I love the RED!! this is gorgeous, MariLynn!
