The design is the same on both pages, the cuts are all from the "Eggs to DYE For" By Design's on Cloud 9 , but I just changed up the images on each page so they weren't exactly the same.. Also, I had to Peachify all my chicks and bunnies with the amazing PK-487 In Stitches 1 1/8" face stamps and I used the new PK-107 Cloudy Day background stand by Peachy Keen Stamps on my layout as well.. I just love how these layouts turned out and I may be making double layout on similar events more often :0)
