Found this cute little bear at the Silhouette store this morning and decided to make a gatefold style card with her.  Image and background layer were cut out with Spellbinders dies.  Gatefolds were scored with my Scorpal.  Added a navy layer on the card base and closed the card with a red and white stripped ribbon.  Tied the navy star button to the stripped ribbon with white twine.
