Pure honesty: I like the concept of the card, but something is just not right - maybe the ribbon is the wrong color?? I don't know - I am interested to see what others have to say.

Honesty: I agree with Gina. I love the concept (I always like the "which one is different" kind of design). I too think it is the ribbon -- but it may be just the way the scan came out? You could try the thin white organdy.

Hmmm...I like the "one of these things is not like the other idea," but in this case, I think the purple butterfly is just too different. I think it would work to have the upper right butterfly be purple also--that would tie it together well, I think. Purple and yellow are a great color combo, and my college colors!

Honesty: I think the yellow mats under the butterflies could be textured (DTP or canvas) and that would really help. Then maybe a "you are one of a kind" sentiment! I do love the color combo and the concept!! Great job!

I think this is a cute card... for my personal tastes I would change the butterflies so they were all the same, maybe the solid stamp in yellow and then the outline one done in the purple? i don't know if that would look good or not though!
