Happy Easter Sunday!


Happy Easter Everyone!  These are some Easter treats that I made a few weeks ago.  I thought the Bunny peeking thru the window would be so cute!  I kept the design pretty simple because I had to put them in the mail.  You could add eggs or flowers to the grassy border.  


Amuse Studio Grapefruit card stock was cut 10½" x 2" with scores at 5" and 5 ½".  You may have to adjust according to the size of your treats.
