Using Tim Holtz Rosette die

I recently decided to buy the new Tim Holtz Rosette die. Yes, I can make this without using a die. It can be done (cut a 1"x12" stip, fan fold, glue, push down, punch a two inch circle). But if I make it by hand, it's not even. This die gives it an even look.

*sorry for the sideways pictures*

For my third (of four) SDU class, we talked about titles. So I had the students make some rosette and spelled out out "joy." Perfect short title for a layout.
