Easter Treats

I made these cute little Easter treat bag toppers for Sunday's family get-together. I filled them with candy specific to each person in my family. :)

The paper is from the scrapbooking company called SEI. For the flower and swirled stamped images, I used an embossing stamp pad with purple embossing powder.
