Welcome to Day #2 of my alternate August Paper Pumpkin cards. My first two cards show an alternate way to use the trophy cut out from the kit. When I saw that trophy, I was at a loss as to how to use it! But, with a little inspiration from the internet, I found the perfect solution - what do you think?
