COLOR BLOCKING #4

Create a sweet and elegant birthday card with the July 2026 Paper Pumpkin – Hooray for Birthdays kit! For this alternate design, I paired the soft pastel plaid patterns in a simple pinwheel layout on a Basic Black card base, creating a striking contrast that really makes the delicate florals stand out. The layered die-cut flowers are arranged on a stitched circle with a touch of gold cord tucked behind for added texture and elegance. A simple Happy Birthday sentiment finishes the design, making this card perfect for celebrating someone special. This easy alternate project is a wonderful way to stretch your Paper Pumpkin kit supplies and create a beautiful card with a fresh, modern look. The Hooray for Birthdays kit features gorgeous floral elements and coordinating embellishments, making it easy to create unique birthday cards you'll love to give.
