      This is awesome. I adore the punch in the corners that matches so well with the die cut in the middle. It's these little touches that make a card special! That bow is totally outstanding and the leaf charm is the perfect embellishment! LOVE the flowers and leave around this card and the arrangement. This is wonderful! Hugs, Gail

      Okay first things first... You are a zentangle instructor!!?? I adore zentangle and have dabbled in it a bit.. But I am mostly an admirer. I have a zentangle board on Pinterest; I wonder if you are one of my pins? I am so excited to hop around your blog and see what else you have done!!

      Now to your amazing card!! Your color scheme is on par for the season and YES! your sentiment is center stage but without overpowering all the other beautiful elements in your design. Your flowers are balanced so perfectly and the you white lattice looks outstanding.. Oh thank you, thank you, thank you for joining us at BSCB.. This card is absolutely outstanding!!
