    What a cute card idea. Love how you made the firefly glow with the yellow dot. Add some magnets to these and I would use them as a large refrigerator magnet.

    Sure wish had known Walmart might have this wood figure to paint. Never know with our Walmart, as with many craft stores here (Grand Junction, CO), most always slow to get craft supplies I hear about on blog land and internet.
    Love how this cute wood mason jar looks, such cute idea to use as a card.
    Happy Mother’s Day
