A Colorful Pinwheel

I managed to get my card posted in time for the Play Date Cafe Challenge #47.  Somehow I always let the deadline pass before I get my entry posted This challenge focuses on the colors black, white, red, turqoise, and green.     I decided to make a pinwheel card using all these colors.

At first I wasn't sure of what I wanted to do to use so many colors.    The pinwheel makes a cheerful-looking card and appears more complicated than it really is.

This a very easy card to make especially if you have the need to make a number of cards just alike.

After I posted this I realized that it also qualifies for Gingersnap Creations' Punches Challenge.   All the squares and the flower center were made with punches.
