CUTplorations March Challenge

Well hello there, March! Hope you've got some better weather in store for all of us... But until then, did someone say "cake"?

I chose this photo in a nod to the late Kate Spade, but love that in addition to the polka dot plate and gold fork there's also coffee!!! And red velvet cake!!! Soooo many ways you could be inspired by this to have some fun with your next card creation using die cuts, don't you think? 

BTW, remember to watch for the winners' post on the 10th to see if you were chosen as one of the winners from our February challenge. 

If you play, make sure you include the graphic below in your post and link back to this challenge post in order to qualify for our prizes :o) Please also read our simple rules, which you'll find toward the end of this post.
