The Lighthouse Circle is perfect for making a shaker card.

    Both cards are so beautiful! I love the background behind the dragonfly die (unfortunately I never get these larger dies because of the price point, from any company, but I do enjoy seeing others use them). And the lighthouse is lovely and so detailed. :) Thanks for sharing.
