Love U Flag Card

I saw this card at Leadership. Someone was literally holding it up in their hands. Creator unknown. I tried my best to recreate this from photos taken. Whoever it is: Thank you for being an enabler! Finished card size: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" (can you believe it?) What great is this project used only (1) sheet of DSP!!! I love this DSP!!! And, I love this type of card style.
