Wish Big

I used one my favorite stamp sets, It's All About Zoo and the SVG's to match.  I also used the Simply Said and the new Outdoor Landscape Dies.   I know I will be using these new dies a lot!  Love them!! The Circus Tent and Ball is from Kadoodle Bug Designs Circus Entertainers and Circus Animals. Here is the card I created.
