Back at last for a Less is More Challenge - #328 is a one layer with the theme of Spots/Stripes.  This is my entry.  I had been playing about with the Stampin' Up! embossing folders of Celebrate and Happy, and then found this great idea on Pinterest - to use the bokeh effect to really highlight the word.  My appreciation to Amy K for sharing her idea,  and in particular the tip of keeping the paper in place in the folder, while stamping.  It helps to highlight the word better. I can't wait to try this out with the Happy - which is not script, but Upper Case, so not as pretty:) Inks are SU:  Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Blushing Bride. Stamps:  circles are by Happy Little Stampers - Mix Mash, and the You is SU - Birthday Blossoms
