Today I have a quick & simple card to share with you. I embossed the white base with a new folder I just got & then started messing around, putting red & blue dots in coordination with the embossing pattern. I wasn't really planning on making a card with it, but then I quite liked the way it turned out, so I went ahead & made it into this 4th of July card....
