Feel Better Friend

Can you believe I already have scraps that need to be used? I love to use my scraps and I needed a get well card for a friend so I thought I’d try a variation of the Herringbone pattern.

This card was so easy to create once I figured out my pattern. I already have lots of scraps of this 2022-2024 In Color DSP!
