Reverse Confetti - Happy Fall-idays THANKSGIVING


Hey there, Reverse Confetti fans!
We have a special showcase event for you this week called Happy Fall-idays!
Today, we are featuring Thanksgiving projects!


Here are the Reverse Confetti goodies that I used on my Thanksgiving treat!






Another fun project to make for our Happy Fall-idays showcase!
After filling one of the Frosted Pillow Boxes with Candy Corn, I embellished with a layered Thanksgiving themed topper!  The Fall Fun Quick Card Panels was cut from the Thanks Tag Confetti Cuts and layered with Wreaths Confetti Cuts and Double Banner Garland Confetti Cuts with a peek of the Double Edge Scallop Border Confetti Cuts from behind the tag.  The Solid Cappuccino twine bow finishes off the tag and this fun little treat is ready for giving!
