A Matchbook Card for Craft Roulette

What do I do with categories like these?
Project: Mini Card(s)  (well, ok)
Colors: A Pretty Day - that's ok, right?
Element: Scent(s) and/or Nose(s) ???
Random: Packaging  (what?)

First, mini cards or card?  Oh, my, I'd forgotten I have a bunch of Art Impressions' matchbox scenes to choose from.  These are so adorable and perfect for this challenge.  Which one?  Ok, I've never used the Halloween set and am really excited about using it.  A pretty day can be a blue sky, pink and purple flowers and orange pumpkins.  Somebody has to have a nose, right?  Random: Do I use bubble rap to make a background?  NO.  The card itself is the package after you close all the flaps, it lays flat and closed, a package itself.

So, Mini Card: Matchbox card
Colors: Blue, pink, purple and orange
Element: 2 noses - cat & pumpkin has a nose
Random: the card is the package

Card folds up and can go in a tiny envelope

Card folded up & tucks into flap on back.  I am holding the card over the envelope it can be put into.  Of course you can't mail a small card like this, but they are easy to put together and so darn cute!
