Jacksonbelle Tuesday Challenge - Taxes!

Hi everyone! It's super dreary here today and looks like it's going to rain at any moment, so I thought I'd give myself a little faux sunshine with a super bright color palette! :)

This card was created for today's Jacksonbelle Embellishments Challenge. Our challenge was to create a card using taxes as our inspiration... LOL, I can only speak for myself, but the thought of taxes nearly killed my mojo. Ha! :) I ended up using Pink Paislee green patterned paper as one of the main elements in my card, since green represents moolah. :) I also used some fun ledger paper with little graph paper circles... Sort of office-ish. LOL
