Great card and my eye was really drawn to the bg paper. I am loving the crosshatching in the bg. Provides such a wonderful backdrop for your other elements. Great card.

Very nice card.......that butterfly really caught my eye. Different and I really like it. Who would think that a touch of polka dots would make a difference on one's card but they certainly do.
Thank you for taking the time to leave that nice message on my CC card last week. I really appreciate that.
