Did you guess that the box was covered with Tissue Paper?? How fun is that. You could use any color tissue you wanted. I will fill this with something sweet and will have a nice little gift for someone. I really should make a whole bunch of these. Oh, wouldn't it be cute to put some truffles in the box and lay a gift card on top. I think I will do that. LOL
