I was born and raised in South Dakota of German/Swedish descent, so I was trained from the cradle that there was one "sin" above all others....but I am now going to sin....wait for it....I am going to brag!! I like my card! (Was that too much? Was it over the top? Am I too full of myself??!!!)
I have no great reason for liking it. I've seen the die cut flower with buttons done before - it's certainly not original to me. There are probably even cards like it already posted on the Less Is More blog (but I never look until I submit!). I like the freshness of the white, the pop of the colors and I really love the daintiness of the little 4 1/4" square. It all makes me smile!
Now I am off for an exciting day of emptying out my son's 5th grade classroom!! His teacher (who will also be his 6th grade teacher) won a $10,000 classroom makeover. So my husband and I are off to pack up the old classroom. Sadly, the son for whom we are doing this can't come. But it's a good reason...both kids are volunteering at Vacation Bible School. (You'll have to come back later when I post pictures of my 6'2" teenager dressed up like a Panda Bear!)

You absolutely should brag about this one--I love it! The flower idea make not be original to you, but you've done it fabulously with these bright colors. The clean white background really gives this a fresh look. Beautiful work!
