Elaine, I had trouble with the circle base, too. My first one was laughable... as it wouldn't sit up and had a strange, lopsided roll. My second attempt was a little better. Still didn't want to sit straight, so I MADE it behave by squaring one side of the base. Problem solved!
All in all, I think it turned out okay. Is getting put in the mail today, heading to my MIL. She loves dispalying my handmade cards at the Assisted Living Facility where she lives. Bet this will get lots of comments because of the cute little boy (a clip art find).
