When I saw this bag of M&M's I couldn't resist making 2 cards - this just had to be a retirement card - so I made Bertie 2 cards - hope she enjoys.
Again, I cut out the image and then layered it over black, used a punch to make the vertical border and added some sticky polka dot embellies to add a little interest.
So here's the funny part - I made the card, totally satisfied with it and then realized I couldn't get it in the envelope - I had totally spaced trimming the base card before I started working on it - I finally found a 6x9 envelope to put it.

Oh WOW! You brought Clark Gable to the party. (Does that date me?) What a cute card. Looks like polka dot M&M's on the side. That could start a new trend. I had to laugh about your envelope story - I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does that kind of thing.
