Sweet Friend Cottage

Good morning!

I have another cottage scene to show you today!  When

I first saw the collection I thought of a gate that would open onto a scene and that thought brought me right to the Tulip Time fence.

It worked perfectly as a card front opening to the inside scene.

Even a place for another sentiment inside the fence!
