    IE: your Scantron and your table………Genius !!!! What better way to say “Look at Me”..love it.
    Appreciate how you used a “paper-no kill” Reindeer to add your fun art to.
    …and last but not least…..love love love the Jane Austin paper (book pages) wedding bouquets.
    Personalized in the most subtle way.
