Add the 10″ x 10″ square piece to the page as shown. Use the Pumpkin Patch Frame Punch to punch a border with the 2” x 12” strip. Set the border aside for later. Adhere the navy pumpkin border that you created in Step 1 as shown. Cut the grid vellum paper to measure 11” x 11” and add to the page as shown.
