I made this card for MMSC19. I chose to use this lovely Papilio image. I was ready to trash this card. . . . it was very frustrating cutting out a great portion of the balsam branches and I was still not satisfied with the "look". My friend gave me a couple of suggestions which I implemented and I think it looks better.
