Tandem Bike card using April Showers Cricut
cartridge for the Welcome Spring words &
Sweethearts Cricut cartridge for the Tandem
Bike. Some of you may know that I do not know
how to ride a regular bike but can ride a Tandem
bike like the one my hubby and I have with
hubby in front. Made this card to give to
hubby to remind him of the fun times we have
when we bike ride in the Spring.
Photographed next to one of the Paul McCartney
Roses that bloomed in my backyard.

on wheels in which the Red Stickles on the wheels are not
