This started out as a simple tag, but as I was finishing up I saw some leftover banner pieces sitting on my desk and thought they would look good on the tag. I love how the colors blended together so nice and it amazes me how the tag looks better with, rather than without the banner. Isn't it fun when it works out that way?!!
