It's All About the Sequins

A lot of times it's the little things that make a huge difference.  Or another way to say that would be "it's in the details".   I think Sandy at Scrapping My Life Away shows that perfectly with this darling Halloween tag. 



Just look at how the bright orange sequins twist around the twine.  The tag is cute without that little detail, but to me is just perfect with it! 

Link up your "Tag, You're It" creation here.  And that eBosser from Craftwell looks pretty cool - did you see that it embosses 8 1/2 X 11 paper?  Link up to win it here.
