Pinwheel Palooza

Over the past few weeks I've been working with a client in Australia who is hosting a pinwheel party for her daughter's first birthday.  It's summer in Australia and I can't think of a more lovely outdoor party for a tiny girl than a pinwheel party.  We started with the pinwheel invitations, in a pink and orange color combination (not shown here for privacy reasons) and went from there!

There will be pinwheels in the garden, hanging from the veranda, peaking over the frosted tops of cupcakes; even miniature ones frilling up the fronts of the goodie bags.  There are 130 pinwheels in all.  I couldn't have asked for a better break from winter than working on this summery fete.

New at the Shop: Pinwheel Invitations

I just designed these pinwheel invitations for a baby shower, but I can't help but think of all the possibility they hold.  

They seem just right for a garden party, family picnic or birthday party, too.  I've just added them to the shop.  What would you use them for?
