First Bloom

Photo Details

Poster: Beate

Today's Way to use it Challenge is to use gray. It's a great challenge. I am getting tired of gray skies, gray dirty snow....gray winter. I am so looking forward to spring, trying to will the flowers out of the ground. So here is combining gray (hopefully the end of winter) with the first bloom of spring.

Thanks so much for looking! Have a wonderful day!
Hugs and smiles

It looks as if you've created your own Spring here, Beate. Those crocuses are so beautifully framed inside that label. I saw a whole bunch this morning, but mostly purple and white, not lovely yellow.

I too am looking forward to enjoying spring and your card is a perfect reminder that it's just around the corner! Gorgeous coloring and use of grey, and I love how that big gemstone picks up the color of the flowers! Pretty!
