Build Your Own Pretty Dragonfly Garden Front Step Panel Card

Hello September! It's my favorite month of the year! My birthday is coming!

There are some great holidays this month too! Like Labor Day, Patriot Day, the Autumn Equinox, and National Good Neighbor Day!

I have never made one of these fun folds ever before. It was pretty easy I love how it stands all by itself. You still have a place to write your message on the back of it. Plus the

Pop Up Front Step Panel Card will fold flat to go into an A2 Envelope. Sweet!

Design Inspired by Diana Langman

Measurements by me.
