It's a stretch for me, but I like the simplicity 2-step or solid images lend to card-making but my desire will be for line art images 9 times out of 10. I really like Stampin' Up!'s new Wow Flowers set (which will be available to purchase beginning next Tuesday, yea!) I love that it comes with 2 greetings in the set, Thank You & Happy Birthday - sure makes the set more versatile. I used it here with 2 of the New In Colors - Pink Pirouette & Riding Hood Red - love them paired with Chocolate Chip! This is the first time I made a flower out of the scallop punch by cutting slits between the scallops. How fun! Now that I look at this card again, I could have made the bottom of it stand out more by placing a pink/red scallop border at the bottom of the front of the card or perhaps rounding the corners.

This looks fantastic to me! I like simple too, but when I do them I feel like my cards are nakkid, rofl.
I love it!!! The colors are fabulous!!
I love the simplicity of this card. Thanks for reminding me about making the scallop a flower. I learned that at the Arlington swap.
Very cute! Love the color combo! So glad you got this new set, can't wait to see more!
I love this Donna, this set is wonderful and what you did with it is gorgeous - anyone would be happy to get this for their birthday - just fabulous, my friend!! Have a great weekend! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex

I noticed you had a new pic and stopped by to say it looks nice. It has been a while and I forgot if this is old or new, but I love your background image.
btw, the card is lovely. I am guessing you like coloring in the images yourself.
Ooooooh! That's gorgeous! I love the colours!
Very pretty!!! This would even be fantastic back ground paper for some cute images on top!
Love your new picture Donna! And I love this card! Terrific colors and design.
Cute card Donna! =) And I like your new avatar...soo pretty!
This is really pretty, Donna. I love the Pink Pirouette and Riding Hood Red paired with Chocolate.
Oh so pretty!!! And the new in colors are growing on me............well, of course I KNOW I'll love the Pink!!!! LOL The flower punch medallion is wonderful!!!
Wow, I like the idea of creating the pattern (paper) using stamps. I am not good in that. I love your colour combination! Simple and nice!
