Thank you card


This is the thank you card I have made to send to the vets, as they were so kind and understanding when I had to have them come to the house on Monday afternoon this week to put my darling boy Peter to sleep, they sent me a condolence card and a packet of Forget Me Not seeds so felt I had to do this for them.

I used the Joanna Sheen cd rom Pamela West for the images and then just a simple mat and layering.
