I ♥ dots. I'm hoarding a ton of Bo Bunny dotted papers in assorted colors, and I have over two dozen stamps with dot designs, not to mention several dotty embossing folders.
And I didn't hesitate to buy yet another dot stamp--Hero Arts' new cling Dots (CG139). It's a card sized stamp and I wanted to use my favorite technique by Jennifer McGuire to create colorful backgrounds.
I think dots give cards a whimsical touch and I know I'll be using this stamp to make even more dotty backgrounds.

Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick;
