My Version:

Ta dah!! This is my version of this square using my colour palette (I blogged about this here).   I just love, love, love the ruffle on this one and thought it would fit in nicely with some of the other 3-D squares that we have made. 

Don’t forget to stay tuned for the LAST block to be released on  25th (or 26th) November.
