Happy Earth Day

Hello.  Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection and since that's today, Happy Earth Day, everyone!

Here's a card I've created just for today's occasion.

This is called a lever card, where the centre panel swings like a lever through the window opening.

If you're interested in the template, you can find it HERE.
