CARD #4

Playing along with the following Challenges:

As You Like It ChallengeRound Corners or Straight Edges (ends 9/22).

The WHY: Once in awhile I really like to make at least a couple rounded edges on cards, which I always thinks adds extra interest, but most times I choose a nice clean straight edge! I generally use some degree of curvature inside the straight lines of the card front.
