One thought on “Enjoy Fresh Air Flair With These Park Bench Borders and Pumpkin Borders”

  1. I believe the measurements for the yellow sunshine “squares” in the Park Squares border should be 2 3/8″ like the green gingham paper? If you cut at 2 3/4″ as cited in the instructions it’s wider than the green gingham and the waves paper base. Thanks for the great idea.
