As a matter of fact, the reason I have my 2 sizes of square punches is to use them to make little quilts on my cards. So for this card, I punched white 3/4" squares and 4 colors of dotted ones, then cut them all on the diagonal to make these triangles, and then pieced them back together into a pinwheel design. Then I added a thin green border and a wider white one, and "bound" it with a very thin blue frame. As I usually do, I then embossed it to make it look like it's been "quilted". And I think "warm wishes" makes a good sentiment to go with a quilt.
