Beautiful tags Loll, need to get moving and add some. Havent been able to comment as I was restricted to the ipad and typing wasnt working in Feedly. Finally fixed the issue, have been looking and seeing so many beautiful tags and cards.

Hi Loll,
I saw this challenge on Mary's blog and thought I would have a go.
Your tag is so very lovely and wonderfully created and a super design.
Congrat to Mary on her GD spot, and her tag is also very wonderful too.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
