Creative Gift Wrapping Idea

Do you wind up throwing out a lot of extra pieces of unused wrapping paper after each wrapping session?  So do I.  Here's a GREAT idea from One Charming Party.  Simply use 2 different coordinating papers and cover the seam with a ribbon.  GENIUS!!  This works for birthdays and other occasions too - not just for the holidays.

I can't wait to do this with my next few packages I have to wrap!
