This set has lots of great shapes. I'm especially fond of the two circular elements. I also have the dies, so I can make endless interesting cluster bases/journaling spots with these in different colors. The little leaves and flower are also fun. The star and banners are also quite versatile. I'm not as sure about the shield shape, but sometimes it is nice to just have something different. The sentiments don't have matching dies, but are useful as they are. I would recommend stamping them in Catherine Pooler inks, because they work so well with solid images.
