Paper Cupcake-Magical Mondays: Embossing Challenge

Well this is the 2nd go around with this tag.  The first time I was really pleased with the outcome of my cute little monkey tag.  But I didn't see that I was supposed to use this weeks FREEBIE!  DUH!!!  So here is my new tag using this beautiful flower vase!  Embossing you ask???
