So, I originally made this for the final mini vsn challenge- to use the song Wild Wild West as inspiration. My inspiration came from the lyric ... (can't remember the name)'s in the back room handing out valium. Interesting song (not my style but hey...). Anyway, here's my card- oh, the part I messed up and decided not to post was the fact I was supposed to have gingham-oops

Argyle was the forerunner to gingham. The weaving process was too expensive for daily wear, so they found a way to get a checked pattern that was more interesting than block checks and stuck to squares instead of diamonds. All the visual interest at half the cost of production.
Or, that's my story anyway, and I'm sticking to it.
