Anyone for a sweet?.....

A bright and cheerful card today.  A friend told me that she calls it a Bench Fold, although it may have a different name.  It's really easy to do, just two rectangles scored and folded and stuck together. 

Edited to add the measurements I used for my card:
Long piece - 4 1/2" wide x  length of a A4 sheet of card (UK size, just under 12" long) Score at 1/2", 2", 4 1/2", 6".
Short piece - 4" x 6".  Score at 1/2", 2".  (Width can be altered to fit the image.)

The image and sentiment are digi stamps from Beccy's Place 'Sweet as Candy' set.  I decided to use the outline image and I coloured it with Promarkers.  I used Memory Box 'Stitched Square Layers' dies for matting and layering.  I bought the ribbon ages ago and it was perfect to go with this image.  The patterned paper is from a freebie paper pads which came with a magazine.
