PTI July 2012 Blog Hop

Hi everyone!  Well, it's a pool day around here, but before we head off, I thought I'd post my entry for the PTI July Blog Hop.  Here's the inspiration photo from Nichole Heady's blog:


To be perfectly honest, I was most inspired by the circles to the right of the picture.  After thinking about those circles for a little while, here's what I came up with:




Thanks so much for visiting!!

Kate

    I thought the circles next to the photo was great, too. However....I wasn't clever enough to incorporate them into my design. I absolutely LOVE your card!

    Fabulous design. The circles are much more powerful than the inspiration photo and you made great use of them.
