Sorry for the delay in posting this third reveal.  I’m back on track now and just waiting for one more set of treats to come in via email.  One player is unable to play this time due to family things and another did not receive their package in the mail.  It was returned to me because I had the wrong address. argh.  Anyway… We will have one more reveal after this one.

Here’s what I came up with: These are both simple cards playing on the same basic idea… but different, lol.  I was fooling around with the flowers and grass for the top card and popped everything out with foam tape.  I love how the grass looks “real”.  I used…
