2.  I used one sheet of specialty paper that I never thought I would use for anything.  It seemed to work great for a Fall/Thanksgiving themed card.  I glued the dotted paper to the front of the cardstock and trimmed off the excess.  I used a Martha Stewart Crafts All Over The Page Punch, Flourish Square to punch a hole in the middle of the front of the card.

3. Next I placed the Happy Thanksgiving on the front.
