  3. Hiya Sue. I fell in love with this beautiful card the very first time you showed it to us. My kind of card, my favourite autumnal colours and was lucky to be given the Bushel Basket as one of my Valentine gifts, so looking forward to using it once the MD and Easter cards have been stocked up. A really lovely sample thanks Sue.
    Sending Saturday love and hugs your way xxx
