Here is my Teapot Tuesday dodge ball for Sandy. I too was circle-challenged when it came to making this card. I didn't know what to do at all! Then the butterfly from Strength and Hope popped into my brain and a flower card was born! The circles were cut with my cricut which I had to dust off! LOL I used the large scallop circle punch for the pumpking part of the flower. I cut the scallops to make petals. I added a Martha Stewart flower in the center for glimmer. Behind the pumpkin flower is a piece of the new designer paper called Flirtatious which is in the new catty coming out July 1st. I cut it apart from the 12x12 sheet it was with. The butterfly was stamped, cut out and dusted with iridescent ice after applying versamark. I put all of the pieces through the cuttlebug using an embossing folder.
The leaves are from the blossom petals punch. The leaves are mounted with dimensionals. The butterfly is as well. I attached the front and back with the round tab punch in cherry, which was also run through the cuttlebug then glued to the front and back. Prayers and hugs going to Sandy.

What a VIVID card! Loving the colors and also all the texture from all the EFs used! Cricut huh? I don't have one of those, but I sure did struggle making my round card! I did use some type of circle cutter, but I don't even know what it is called!
