I like to make birthday cards with a floral theme for my friend John who raises flowers for a living . . .
This
open-work flower is quite unusual and I thought it worked well for the layout. Lots of texture here to captivate the eye and
provide some tactile pleasure. However, the
various elements are probably clearest when viewed in real life.
