I'm always on the lookout for interesting ways to use leftover bits of paper, so I had to try this technique I found on Splitcoast. It takes a couple of one-inch wide strips and two one-inch squares of snippets to create an interesting design with a pinwheel at the center. You could use a different width of strip, just adjust the size of the squares accordingly. (I also used a white snippet for the main panel and a light blue snippet for the matting.)
Embossing the panel added some texture, with a flower and gem embellishment.
