For CAS07 Clean and Simple challenge to use punches.
I started out making the card with the row of flowers. Instead of using the punched-out shapes and attaching them to a card, I decided to remove the shapes from the paper. I punched a row of flowers from the strip of Pale Plum paper, then glued the strip to a wider piece of Perfect Plum paper. I punched out 5 circles and glued them in the center of each flower. I was going to orient this card the 90 degrees, so that the flower row was on the bottom of the card, but I decided to flip it and put a vertical greeting down the side of the card.
As I was tidying up and putting the paper scraps away, I decided to save the punched-out flowers. They are perfectly good flowers! There is also no time like the present, so instead of storing them all, I used three of them to make another clean and simple card.

How inspired and clever to use both punched sections. I laughed when I read the thread about you getting the MS butterfly punch. I could hardly wait to get the last one available at Walmart just tonight, after seeing the butterfly punched samples!
