Ruby Wedding

Friends are celebrating their Ruby Wedding tomorrow and this is the card I've made for them. Nothing original, it's a pattern I've used several times for ruby, sapphire(45) emerald (55) and diamond(60) anniversaries and it always makes an impact. The design is by a Dutch lady on the World of Crafters forum and is an advanced form of iris folding: it doesn't spiral inwards and finish with an iris like the basic designs I made last Christmas (and showed in detail here ), and it has exposed corners which can be tricky to get neat, but although it took quite a time to complete I'm pleased with the final result.
