1. Not alot of color to this teapot! But is sorta fun! I kept wanting to add stuff to my card. I don't know, ribbon or something. But the teapot is plain so I settled for adding that little honey comb flower thingy in the top right hand corner! Hee!
2. Guess what? See all of those individual octogon honey comb shaped thingys? They are all popped up and I hand cut them all out by hand! Yep, each and every one!
3. Ha! Ha! Made ya listen!!! Just joshing. I really used an octogon punch that a friend gave me! I had forgotten all about that punch until I started looking closer at this teapot to feature this week! Once I remembered I had this punch, this card was a piece of cake! Hee!

Hey, I spent all morning thinking about your octagons, trying to remember were they octagons or hexagons. Boy I am glad to see they are hexagons or your poor bees would have gone out of their minds trying to make a proper honeycomb, LOL.

Hexagon-octogon, potato-tomato, if it's 10 below might as well be 20 below..... Snort-Giggle! Fact is, you have a punch with more then four sides. And, you made a really pretty card with it! Thanks for the fun challenge!!!

Oh yes, now I am thinking of Toblerone and the triangular bees in their triangular trees, LOL.
That would be fun, but I can barely remember it, it's so long since I've seen it.
And - we used sometimes to take the dogs (or my mum used to take us) for a walk in a nearby woods where there was a little ruined octagonal teahouse, for back in the days when the local landowners would go for picnics or tea-parties up in their woods .
