Don’t you just love pinwheels? I still like to place one in an outdoor planter every now and again to watch it spin in the breeze. They also make me think of the 4^th of July, so I thought Tommy would be the perfect paper to make a fun, yet patriotic card.

 

 

The pinwheel is the star of the show! Placing some foam tape between the two pieces added a more realistic touch, and the striped paper straw adds another element of fun. Rather than using some sort of embellishment, I liked the look of the stars as anchors for the chevron ribbon. Here is the complete supply list. All products are Close to My Heart unless otherwise noted:
