8th Grade Promotion Card

I can't believe my youngest is graduating from PMS middle school and going to high school next year.
Te PMS panthers colors are red, black and white.  I used alot of white on this card so the sentiment would stand out.  The card base is bade from Nestabilities.  I actually used 3 sets on this project
