Merry Monday #123 - Use a Wreath

Hey everyone, it's Monday and that means time for another fun challenge at Merry Monday!  This week's theme is brought to us by the super sweet and talented Bonnie and she wants us to use a wreath on our cards.  I decided to try making my own wreath with dots of white Enamel Accents - I'm happy with how it turned out!

    I thought this was some cool embossing folder that I hadn't seen yet. But no, you made this wreath out of enamel dots! You are so clever, Katie! And the sponged background is just perfect!

    Love the dots and I think a glue gun would work well too! You've got me thinking!
