1.    Using the round disk as a guide, trim the pink paper to fit the disk. Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the base of the disk and to the back of the paper. Place the paper on the disk and press out any air bubbles.

2.    Use the circle punch to create small circles from the black paper. Apply a small amount of Mod Podge to the back of the circles and position in a random pattern on the pink-papered disk.
