Pretty Pinwheels at The Cutting Cafe

What is it about pinwheels?  Seriously, what is it?  Everytime I see one, I smile.  Regina has a new pinwheel cut file available at The Cutting Cafe.  And this is so funny, I thought I had an original idea with a pinwheel wreath...uh, no...I found several out there in blogland.  Great minds think alike?  Or maybe, it's just a love of pinwheels...

How about these papers? 

 They are from the new French General collection.  Rich reds and blues -  so pretty!

The pinwheel template made this super easy to put together.  By the way, the pinwheel set comes with straight and scalloped pinwheels and sentiments, too! I cut twelve pinwheels and slid the opposite corners onto a brad.  I used a 12" styrofoam wreath. 
I used straight pins to place the pinwheels and hot glued buttons into place.  One thing I'm going to do is wrap the styrofoam with a pretty blue or red ribbon.  Regina will be adding the DT projects to The Cutting Cafe blog on Wednesday night.  I'm sure there will be lots of pinwheels to make me smile!

    I know I had pinwheels growing up - maybe that is why you smile!!! Your paper is perfect - just in time to get ready for the 4th of July!! Your creation is wonderful and it could suit all kinds of holidays. Hmmmmmm - you have me thinking. But isn't this for people who have Crickets - is that what it is called?
    I love visiting your blog - your sweet smile always makes me smile!!
