OLW goes round & round

Hello again .... I know .... two posts in a day , well I'm busy tomorrow so thought I'd post my OLW card this eve :)

This weeks OLW marks a years worth of challenges as we are on challenge 52 , I have only been playing along for about 8 weeks but love the weekly mind stretching it causes me . Here are the particulars this week ....

      "This week's One-Layer Wednesday Challenge is to use a circle or multiple circles on your card. You can get really creative with this. For instance, the centers of some flowers are circles, brads are circles, pierced holes are circles. All those would count. Or you can make a round card, punch a round window into a card, or accent your card with bit of polka-dot ribbon. I'll bet y'all can think of LOTS more creative ways to incorporate circles into a ONE-LAYER card."

So here is my card



I've used an Inkadinkadoo stamp from a set conveniently called circles and dots and then used my Making Memories eyelet punch to make holes on a round of dots . You can just about make out that the rest of the card is embossed and I stamped the sentiment with an old Hero Arts alphabet . To give a flash of colour through the holes , I used a brown paper insert , not that it's very visible in the photo. 

Oh and I forgot to say .... because it's OLW's birthday this week Susan is giving a prize away to a lucky winner from this weeks submissions , see the link above for details :)

Thanks for stopping by .... again X
