Butterfly Thank You

You will have so much fun creating t his Butterfly Thank You card with the Butterfly Gala bundle.  The colors are courtesy of the Designer Series Paper.  The sentiment is also one of my favorites because I love when two different fonts come together for a sentiment.  Finally, the sequins were a nice touch to add personality to the card.
