Hi Everyone and a very warm welcome to my new followers. 

What a rotten day cold wet and windy just the day for crafting! Like I need an excuse lol!

I made this for a silver wedding. It's my first attempt at a Double gatefold dome card! There's a couple of things I wish I had done differently like the positioning of the flourishes and corners on the front.

What do you all think? Would love your opinions good or bad.
