Crochet Rainbow Applique

My son was invited to a Rainbow themed birthday party yesterday and as I was wrapping the gift 

I quickly realized I didn't have a card. No problem for this crafter! A crochet rainbow appliqué was 

easy to make and made for a pretty embellishment for the top of a plain note card!
