An isoradial graph is one which can be embedded into the plane such that each face is inscribable in a circle of common radius. We consider the superposition of an isoradial graph, and its interior dual graph, approximating a simply-connected domain, and prove that the height function associated to the dimer configurations is conformally invariant in the scaling limit, and has the same distribution as a Gaussian Free Field.
