Here is my DT card for the challenge, which is “anything goes” plus “pearls.”  Isn’t she just stinkin’ cute?  The minute I heard pearls, I knew what I wanted to do.  The card turned out better than planned.  I created a mini-easel card that folds flat for mailing…and embellished it with…you got it…pearls!  The pearls on the card will  hold the easel in place.
