My objective was to create a neat Halloween decoration for under $25.  So with my coupons I began. For a moment, I was distracted by...

I made it within 10 minutes:) The finished heart is about 8-1/2" - a good size for home decorations. This is also a great way to use some of the pretty paper we've been hoarding collecting. I used my favorite V Day collection of all time: With Love by Pebbles.
