FINALLY! I got the printer to work, I got the last one to preschool and got to enjoy this fun Challenge of a Round Top Box!!
Assembling the box: I first laid the printed out template onto my floral patterned paper and looked through them with the light behind; placed my flowers where I wanted them to exceed the pattern, then temporarily adhered the papers together so I could cut out the back and sides, avoiding cutting off the flowers' petals. I glued the floral piece to the template and added more paper around the bottom. I glued on a scallop round nestie behind the box itself to showcase the cutout flowers and orange back.
I used the chocolates my hubby gave me Saturday for Valentines Day! I don't usually do altered items, now I am wondering why!
Thanks, Lynn!!

I love your off-the-page flowers.
I don't usually do altered items either, but I know why not!
Cute stripy paper with the choc chips or swirls on it, too.
