DCM Pins and Needles

Now, on to this weeks dare (can you believe its Friday once again ?!:) Well, its my turn (Jane) to set the dare this week. Its very simple really (prickly maybe but..:) I want you to design a card to any theme- but I want you to include pins or needles of some sort. Sewing needles, safety pins, dressmakers pins- any type of pin goes !:)

Here is my DCM, I don't seem to be getting these done very regularly, but as sewing is one of my other crafts, I thought I should make a special effort. I've had this little piece of embroidery hanging around for about 18 months, it was an experiment in fabric painting and really not a very good size for a frame as I hadn't left enough fabric round about the design, so I was wondering what to do with it, I was quite pleased to be able to incorporate it into a card.
