A note about this week's freebie:

Every other week, we'll be sharing freebie sentiments chosen by a member of the design team. These are some of their favorite sentiments! Sometimes they will match the theme, sometimes they won't, but I still hope you enjoy ALL them. This week the freebie is a set of three sentiments chosen by our design team member, Valerie! Valerie's bright and cheerful creations are sure to light up your day!  We are delighted to have her on the team and can't wait to see more of her talent!

Sentimental Sundays Weekly Freebie:

Freebie sentiments are available for one week only.  For more sentiments like this, please visit the Raindrop Echo Designs Sentiments Collection at Whimsy Stamps.
A special thank you to those who link back to the blog when using these sentiments!
