Thank You Treats

I wanted to create a quick, reusable project to give as a thank you when needed.  I realized after I took and uploaded the photo that I forgot to add the candy so you'll have to use your imagination!  lol  The receiver can remove the brads and open the package up to get at the treats inside.

Stampin' Up! Paper:  Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant
