The tiny ribbon is brown gingham. The Top was made from Basic Grey Porcelain at 6x4 1/2 scored using the score it folded and then punched w/MS punch and attached to Wilton food safe bag. The tiny shreds of paper in the bottom. The scallop Happy Summer was printed on my computer using the curlz mt at 28 then punched with the scallop SU punch. The lemons are from LAB cut at three and then cut to look like a wedge. This is my favorite part. The square was cut from George at three and then cut at each corner to make the pinwheel. Queen and Co. brad and yellow gingham ribbon. A very tiny piece of dowel rod. Now just imagine sitting in the sun the wind blowing and drinking a cool glass of iced tea. TFL!!!!
