ReplyDeleteDebbie, your RC shadow box is amazing. I especially love the added touch of the little gears in the bottom corner. Thank you for sharing how you layered the digi stamps with the digi paper. I am always stumped with how to fill the huge expanse of white that is the background of most scenes, and will be using your idea in the future.
