The card on the right was made using the sketch on the left for an SSSD swap: Sketch with a Picnic theme. 
I was going to use some paper with ants all over it, but couldn't find it. Then decided I would use a Cricut cut. Hee hee, I don't have a cartridge with an ant or anything really picnicy on it. Forget the ants. Try for watermelon. I cut the watermelons from a print paper and the kids and melon are from a sticker set called Summer Picnic by PC. I'm not one for using stickers even tho I have loads of them. But those kids are so cute and the stickers matched the theme... 
The checked paper is my idea of a tablecloth.  I used a border punch for the scollops. Needing embellishments, I put tiny black gems on the large melon and the seeds on the small melons is Stickles. I sure hope the person I sent this card to likes it.

You did a nice job on the card! Don't you just hate it when you have an idea but can't find the supplies you need or just don't have a Cricut cartridge with it on it? The tablecloth was a very good idea and looks great.
