It might look as though this needs to be rotated...but no, I decided to attach the greeting sideways. I love long, skinny cards like this. If the layout doesn't appeal to you, turn it into a tall skinny card. Either way, it fits into a #9 business envelope - just a little smaller than the standard business-sized #10's.
The new Branches and Blooms Design Adhesives is a versatile pattern - you can use it throughout the year. Imagine it in spring with pale pink Cotton Candy Glitter on a soft green card. Or - for Halloween - with Onyx Black Glitter branches and Sweet Orange buds, some dangling spiders and a Honey Glow Glitter moon in the background. Then, for the holidays, with Silver Lining Glitter branches and Ruby Slippers for the "berries" on a frosty white card with a red background block.
