I added a ribbon for embellishment...I make these ribbons by winding them on my fingers. I think they add a finishing touch. Today, I think I made the bow a little large. Shall I make it smaller?
P.S. Thanks for all your input. Here is a smaller ribbon.

You shouldn't make the bow smaller -- just get a bigger envelope! It's gorgeous. Do you have three hands? It takes me both hands to make a bow, but you say you wrapped it around your fingers. I'm impressed!

Your card is beautiful in its softness...has an Asian feeling. Since you asked: I'm in the minority....being on the red bg, the bow melds in, but I picture it on a white bg and I think the bow would overpower the delicacy of the rest of the card. I think a smaller bow would let the pretty bird image be the focal point. Just my opinion.
Added edit:
Your card showing the changed bow size is PERFECT, Anne! : )
