I don't know if you can see it or not, but I reversed each pinwheel so you could see how different each one looks.

HAVING FUN WITH PINWHEELS!!


So I got a little creative today, FINALLY!!!!

Did NOT CASE this from anyone, it actually came out of my own brain!  Created by Mo & Jo!!






As always, click on the picture to make it bigger!!

I must admit, there is a technique to adding a brad to these guys, but after a while you figure it out.

Also the two pinwheels are made using the same DSP piece of paper, but I reversed one, hence the different patterns.

Here is the recipe:
Stamp Set:  Wishes Your Way
Cardstock:  Retired DSP Love Impressions, Real Red, Whisper White
Ink:  Real Red
Accessories:  Adorning Accents Folders (embossing), Sizzlits S Die-Pinwheel, Heart Shaped Brads (non SU), big fat glue dots cut in half to adhere to the back of the pinwheels.
