More Dotty

I took just one piece of Dotty paper and made these cards. 

The last one is the back side of the yellow and grey paper.  I used the stamp of the Month "You Are" on most of the cards.

Here are a couple more cards I did at the same time.

This is using the Superhero Paper and Stamp set...great for a boy's card!

On this card I used Fashionista Stamp set, Florentine Paper and the Sparkles

Flourish.
