Purple and Yellow-Green Card - Squares and Circles

Here's another card using the patterned paper I received from Operation Write Home. Yesterday's post tells the story.

This time I chose two coordinating papers - one with stripes and one with a circle pattern. I also used the yellow-green solid color on the reverse of the circle pattern paper. It's the same layout as yesterday's card, inspired by this week's Fall-To-Layout 122 on Clean and Simple Stamping.

The purple card base is Hero Arts iris. I don't know the name of the patterned paper. My sentiment "Thinking of you" is computer-printed with Lucida Calligraphy font in purple ink. The circle punches (EK Success) are 1-1/4" scalloped and 1-1/2" plain, to make the embellishment on the striped square, and 2" scalloped for the sentiment. I also placed a 1/2" shiny clear epoxy dome sticker on the center of the embellishment.
