I was playing with the purple card base for something else, but it wasn't working for me. But the leaves on the purple were. So I cut the French Lattice frame and the border. Now the flowers, those were all made with the chads that come from the Tessatina border. They're perfect for flowers and give a different shape to the outside part. For the flower centers I used a purple glitter pen and regular glue.
Gingham ribbon is woven through the border strip.
I love the colors together, but I'm not sure about the final outcome. It certainly wasn't where I was going to begin with.

I like how this card turned out. But I bet the colors are much prettier IRL. If this is a really good orange and purple, they are favorite colors of mine when put together. Maybe that is why I like Halloween colors!
