I agree a small ribbon on the bottom 1/3 would perk it up. I also might have chanded the writing card to white ink on red. Just a thought. Love the design and love the stamps. Good work!

I would like it better if the top portion of your card was the same coral color as the bottom. The red is too dark and 'heavy' to be at the top. JMO...
Still nice card though

do a little direct ink to paper on the word sqare. use a spiral clip with a small piece of ribbon tied to it on the square. Or a brad on the top right corner of the word square.

I agree to bring the coral to the top--maybe a red panel only 1/4" on top and bottom of the three images. And I would put the sentiment inside the card, and use a smaller word(s) on a tag maybe clipped or tied to the main images panel.

I read the suggestions, and yes, usually I would also say the darker color on the bottom because it's "heavier." But, I'm guessing this is a sympathy card, or could be, and I think the "heaviness" of it maybe adds a somber tone that is totally appropriate! I think this card is gorgeous. I wouldn't add ribbon - a cheery touch that might seem frivolous. Those stamps are absolutely beautiful. Maybe all I would do is put the triple images in the lower half and the sentiment at the top - offset to one side, but partially over the rosy color, mostly on the darker color. But really, I think it's just lovely!!
