Tag Show Off


I just wanted to show this tag off!
Deb of Deb's Designs - the sweetheart that she is - allowed me to play with her tropical tiki scripts in exchange for a tag! Wow! Such a generous offer!
I wouldn't even know where to begin to write a tutorial for this tag so I just thought I'd show it off.

If you use scripts I highly suggest purchasing these at Deb's store, Butterfly Blush Designs. The possibilities are endless! I had the best time with these.

Hugs,
Bev
