The
June 2019 Paper Pumpkin was designed to make RAK (random acts of kindness)
cards. Hand out these small
cards when you are out and about to spread a little sunshine and cheer!! They are the perfect size for a quick ‘thank
you’/ ‘have a nice day’ etc.
There
is even a little pouch included to protect your cards while they are in your
purse.
