Hand carved rubberstamps - Double circles

So at the Clubscrap retreat, we were introduced to carving our own rubberstamps out of erasers in one of the workshops we attended.  Well I hadn't played with my carving tool since I got home - but when I was at the Dollar Tree - I saw this big round eraser and a bunch of rectangular erasers and thought - why not give it a go...so I took that 'donut' eraser and cut/carved a bunch of graduating 'circles' out of it and then proceded to make a number of cards using the circles as sort of frames for the images.
