Twinkle Tip*

Paper piece with squares, any size. Cut design paper into a square that matches the size of the square card base. Cut the design paper in half both ways, creating (4) squares: 

Cut one square in half, creating two rectangles

Cut another square in half both ways, creating four smaller squares

Two squares remain, do not cut

Repeat with multiple design papers to mix and match patterns and add interest to layouts. Add squares to card base, fitting them together like a puzzle or a quilt. 

Finally, add a clear focal point layer. Add even more interest by sliding focal point to the left- or right-of-center.
