You have such a talent for combining colors and patterns. I love the combination of the border punch designs on this card and I will be using that idea soon.

A 3-fer, and done with such style! Great take on the color combo, which I find kind of odd (sorry!). You made it rock. Brilliant flower and lovely design.
