My Project for Wednesday's Design Team

I made a large tag for this weeks project, this tag was made to hang on the rear view mirror in a car. It is double sided, the front and the back are the same. And each side has a spot to add a photo :)

For this project I used the girl bear from A Very Bear Christmas. You can find this set here:
