Attach this panel to the front. Download and print a beach hut template, then colour with ProMarkers and attach to the sky using 3-D pads.
   
   2 Doodle two birds in the sky above the huts. Punch a scallop border from white and orange cards, then layer one on top of the other and bend slightly. Attach to the top of the card, using 3-D foam pads behind each scallop. Add a length of twine along the top edge.

   2 Download and print three beach hut motifs, then colour with ProMarkers. Attach to the card with 3-D foam pads.
   
   3 Punch two stars and ink the edges, then emboss the centres to give dimension and adhere using 3-D foam squares. Doodle two birds in the sky to finish.
