Baby Bottle
Lollipop Holders

Hello Everyone!
Today is my Design Team day over

sentiment from Jaded Blossom's

"Twisted Gumball" Trendy Twine.

    I got the little Superhero from
    Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons HERE...
    and the tube box is my own box I made 
    on my Silhouette :)
    I filled the tube with green candies

    Superhero one bit :)

    them from The Royal Castle Shoppe

    image that I Googled.  Then I welded on 
    a rectangular tag. Once it was all on the mat
    I created a shadow image for the back
    and a layering image for the front.

    How cute it this?

    Guess what?  Since I created this cut file, 
    I'm going to give it away for free today.
