We're going round in circles at Allsorts!

Good morning to you all, this is my second DT card for the Allsorts challenge blog (I still can't believe I am part of this fab team!). Our theme this week is Going Round In Circles. Our fabulous sponsor is A Passion for Stamps. I got to play with a lovely A Passion for Stamps image for my DT card, thank you so much Ruth x


So onto my card, I have coloured Box of Chocs with Promarkers & Flexmarkers as usual and teamed the image with some gorgeous new Prima Rosarian papers. I love the deep colours and designs of these papers, they are just stunning. My circles are in the form of a round doily, circle Nestabilities dies, round button dies (just love these, they are new), circles on my papers and a half circle sentiment...

A side shot to try to show the dimension...
