Our very talented Design Team members have used DS4J images and made stunning cards using pearls and swirls for your inspiration ...

Audrey's eye-catching card using the image "Friendship is ... " is so cute and cuddly


Jan has used "Gypsy" and created a beautifully romantic card



Gemma chose "Daffodils" and her Spring inspired card is so pretty (this image is longer available in the store)



Linda also created a beautiful card using "Gypsy"



And the image "Fancy Legs" features on my card, (that's me, Jen) with lots of swirls



and finally, Kelly has made a romantic card using "Gypsy"



The most important rule, however, is to have fun!
