Notepad Inspired Card

A couple months back I saw some cute notepads at Target, bought them, and forgot about them. :) I found them again and decided to give them to my son's preschool teachers. I really liked the pattern at the top of the notepads, so I used that as the inspiration for my card.  I pulled out Polka Dot Basics for the teeny tiny dot in it only to find it has gone missing. :( So I had to search through my stamps.  I found another not-quite-as-teeny-tiny dot in PTI's Happy Harlequin, which I bought years ago and never used.  I realize I still have hardly used the set, but I can now say that I have used it, so I'm joining in the wonderful Darnell's NBUS Challenge #6.  The flowers came from PTI's Graceful Greetings, and I finished it off with a sentiment from PTI's Fresh Floral Wrap-Ups...one of my faves...I always love the fonts Maile chooses for her sets.
Well, the sun is out (Hooray, Hooray!), so we're heading out to play! Hope you have a wonderful, sunshine filled if possible, week. :)
