Thank you for the tutorial on making a bow! I visited Okinawa when I was in the USAF and stationed in Korea. I loved Okinawa !
The patterns in the yellow and orange layout don’t seem to be the ones in the Mix & Match paper packs. Are they different between U.S. & Japan?
Hi Beth – Yes, sometimes the collections are a little different in Japan.
