 Hello there!  My son graduated HS recently.  I made this card for him.  I added tassels but realized he in fact earned one more.  I didn't know until the afternoon before graduation when he picked up his stuff at graduation practice.  So, that one didn't make it onto the card since it was already complete by then.  I love the way it turned out!!!
