That's it. This was intended to have a more masculine feel to it, but I think the flowers kind of changed that by the time I was finished. Adding tiny dots of some kind of sparkle to the centers of the small flowers would certainly enhance this card, but as I said, I was trying to keep it a little more "manly."
Hope you enjoy this card.
