Dinorrific Dinosaur Party Invite!!

Hello Friends,

This is the invitation I made for it. It is done in postcard style with only a card front. When you flip it over all the important party info is listed on the back. When I showed Trevor my finished project, he was so surprised. He even said, "You did a great job Mommy!" I guess that means he approves :o)
