U Rock!!!
I have to say I am loving this month's Scrapbook Etc. I completely fell in love with this card on page 30 of the issue. The actually made it so it has a pocket for Pop Rocks to put in. I just made it as a birthday card for my boyfriend. We share a common love of music and this card was just perfect. The strings on the guitar are no dental floss. It worked perfectly.
