Rainbow Spring Layout

I love this new Rainbow Cookie Cutter Border die from the March Quickutz release! To me, there are two things that mark the beginning of Spring - seeing the flowers and trees begin to bloom and being able to start wearing new Spring clothes. I snapped these pictures of my daughter in one of her new outfits while she was waiting for her ride to school. I only used 4 of the 6 bands from the Rainbow Die because I wanted to simulate the rainbows found in the patterned paper I was using. Instead of making the rainbow level, I tilted it on its side and covered up the uneven ends with the clouds. This is a great technique to get a completely different look from this fun die!
