Easy-peasy!

Just noticed that some of you are wondering about the embellished circles part of this month's challenge! Don't worry, it'll be easy. All will become clear when I reveal more tonight!

Busy here on the homefront, moving house (and states) in two weeks so days are pretty much hectic! I've got nights for blogging so watch this space......
