Iris Flower Square

Hi bloggers! Welcome to the October 2018 die release blog launch.  We have eight days of previews to share with you.  As always, there will one set of each of the dies given away through drawings based on those of you that leave comments.  One comment per post please, but feel free to leave a comment on each and every one of the die blog posts.  I will do the drawings and post the winner list on Oct 26th.  Please make your name memorable in some way so that we don't have more than one person claiming it.  Use an alias or add on the name of the city you live in or some other identifying manner.  First up we have the lovely Iris Flower Square.  I love that they have the look of stained glass but can be used in so many ways and for so many occasions too.  Leave a comment if you like this one and join me back here at 12 noon for the next post.  All for now, Sue x

    I really like the looks of these flower squares. I enjoy the watercolor look and now that its getting cold, I am ready for spring, ha! We have iris in the yard and I love that they come back and several bloom at different times to surprise.
