When I saw the Carousel Horses bundle, I knew I had to make some cards for Mum. She loves carousel horses so much she even once wrote a paper on their history. She has an antique real wooden carousel in their house. Did you know the wooden carved carousel horses were built with removeable ears? Yup. The ears were prone to breaking when transported, so they built them to be removed. Neato.
