fries, anyone?

For the tiny book I was to make for Michelle's tiny book swap, I decided to go with a red and yellow color scheme. I'm going to show you the entire book another day, but here is the cover of it:
Part of the reason I decided to got with a red and yellow color scheme is that I really wanted to use an old vintage "Hearts" Whitman card like the one below and lots of Dennison labels.
As I was putting the tiny book together looking for some red and yellow ephemera, I thought, "Hey, these are McDonald's colors!" I'm thinking that maybe I was subconsciously craving a cheeseburger and fries. Mmmm.....
I sent my books to Michelle along with a whimsy jar for her as a gift for being a wonderful hostess. I sent one of those Bonne Maman jelly jars filled with red and yellow treats for her. How about a milkshake with that tiny book? ;)
