Hello there, this is Marine, I’m back with a monochromatic card showcasing Frightful Little Bits. I like to make that kind of card for Halloween, I think it gives an extra spooky mood to a project.

Hi everyone, Marine here with a sweet little scene showcasing two adorable friends from my favorite set from the last release: Besties.
