    It looks like the 'Gold 7's Doubler' has more top prizes left. Not quite as good a name as the 'pot of Gold' but it is still gold and would fit in..

    Thanks to rusty for the idea i have just done some filled them with a mix of werthers , gold coins , gold wrapped fudge and a ferrero Roche on top . The pots were a bargain 25p for 4 from asda . I made them for a fundraiser and all 48 are now finished . pics here

    Sorry to be nosey but i clicked on your link & saw the bit near the bottom 'Image wallets'. I love those pictures, did you draw them yourself?
    The top 2 remind me of when i was little, i had a duvet cover with pictures like them on it.

    I've just had a go at wrapping my Pot of Gold. I've only wrapped one as I need scratchcards for the others.
