Arrange A Wreath Easter Card

Early last Fall,  I had the opportunity to present projects featuring the Arrange A Wreath bundle to the Luv 2 Stamp Group.  Today, I am sharing the Arrange A Wreath Easter card from the event.  In addition, full instructions for recreating the card just in time for use this upcoming Easter.  The Arrange A Wreath bundle is very versatile and great for different occasions.  Following information on today’s card, you’ll find links to the past posts featuring the bundle.
