Newton Unwinds by Newton's Nook Designs

Hi all!  I love all animals but kitties have a special place in my heart.  I rarely make a clean and simple card so I'm rather out of my comfort zone.  Here is my clean and simple card featuring the super cute "Newton Unwinds" image, found here:

 The border is free standing. Here is a side view:
