I am so in LOVE with this pinwheel shape! Maybe it's infatuation, I don't know, but I decided to base my Valentine’s gifts around it. I bought mini Chinese take-out boxes and filled them with my favorite Valentine’s candies (sour cherry balls, cinnamon lips, and of course dark chocolate… Mmm!) Then I whipped together these pinwheels (so easy since the brad holes are pre-cut!). If you push the brad all the way through the ribbon on the back, no adhesive is even necessary. Tie the ribbon around the handle of the take out box and voila, a perfect little I love you!
Enjoy!

How cute is this. I have a 2x2 pinwheel (not to mention some other stuff...) ordered from the UK - can't wait to get my hands on it. Lots of fun new stuff in this release.

Absolutely wonderful!! I have the take-out box in my silhouette library and now I'm sure it's the next project to try.
