Theater Spotlight Technique

Technique Time! This cute card that was originally created for my adult granddaughter who loves turtles. It would also be a cute card for a younger child as well.

Black          5-1/2 x 8-1/2
Parakeet Party    4-1/4 x 5-1/2
Lemon Lolly       2 x 3-1/4

Night of Navy    3-1/4 x 4-1/2
