Winnie the Pooh Baby Banner

My First time using  Winne The Pooh Font cartridge and it resulted in a banner!  A co-worker of mine was hosting a baby shower for her niece and of course I just had to ask “So, what’s her theme?”.  When I found out it was Winnie, I just had to make use out of my cartridge and volunteered to make a banner for her party.  The name of the baby was already known so the content of the banner was easy.  When presented to my co-worker, she loved it!
