Penny also sent me several other items also and they are shown below and itemized here:

Self-Adhesive Accents - Teardrop Rain Dots in 2 Separate Colors -- I have never used these before. Can't wait to try them.

Eyelets!!! Since I am just beginning to use these --this is awesome. Now I have a collection of colors to choose from!
