I’m one of those who normally struggles with yellow but this is such a soothing yellow that I actually enjoyed it. I tried to create a tone on tone card but after a while it was too much and I needed to introduce a pop of color, so I opted for white and white pearls. When Anya showed us her set and it featured pinwheels I did a little happy dance. How fun for us and then I remembered one of the new releases for is S5-125 Spellbinders™ Pinwheels! I used that for the focal point and stacked it on top of Spellbinders™ Lotus Pendants and Spellbinders™ Blossom Tags and Accents. I stamped the small pinwheels outline and followed up with the filler stamps – too easy!! I cut them out then popped them up on Spellbinders™ Picot Edged Circles.
The sentiments for the set are cute and clever – I opted for You are my Whirl – get it? Pinwheel . . . whirl . . . .!! Lol, I ran out of room on my card so I tucked the sentiment off to the side on Spellbinders™ Jar Labels.

Hello Becca,
I never thinking to make a pinwheels as a flower.
But, after look at your card, my perception about pinwheel changed.
Instead, they can be just playful pinwheels you proved that It also can be a beatiful flower. Not only Anya was brilliant, but, you too! You card really awesome. I’m waiting for your updates everyday.. and everytime I visit you blog you’re alway suprised me with your Truely Amazing Creations.
Thank you Becca for sharing beautiful cards with us.

Your blog is the highlight of my day, I reallly started card making after my husband was diagnosed with cancer some three years ago. Your site has always been the inspiration I needed and when I was at my lowest I would go to your site and just look at all the beautiful cards you have made over the years.You, my dear friend are the reason I have so many spellbinders and gadgets. My husband does not know my secret but he knows what therapy I receive when I am in my craft room. Thank you so much for sharing a part of yourself with us not only on a personal level but your ingenious talent. I hope God continues to bless you each and every day.
Hi, I don’t know what the above “link” is for so I couldn’t do it. Sorry. I follow your beautiful work almost weekly and have added you to my top l0 sites : 0) I love your idea for buying “nibs” for each color and how to store them. I would like to know what type of nibs those are and what the see thru plastic holder is also??? I have looked up nibs on JoAnn but haven’t see any like yours. What do you recommend??? Thank you so much, another sister in Christ.
Good Morning Becca,
This is such a cute card. I love what you did with the pinwheels and how you incorporated them in your card. You always seem to know just the touch to finish off your cards. Love the color yellow, it always reminds me of spring time and warm sunshine. TFS.
Beautiful card! Your flower is GORGEOUS!!
Gorgeous! The colors are stunning! Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow, lovely layering! I like the lace you used and I really enjoy the sentiment just peeking off the side of the card.
What a beautiful card.
This is so pretty with all the bright yellow. Love it.
