Absolutely gorgeous, Karen! I can't imagine finding time to create when getting ready to move. Whew!
I agree that the flower is a rhododendron...the five petals with a little pointy edge, and the leaves under the cluster identify it. However. They come in a gorgeous variety of colors and yours is beautiful! It caught my eye immediately and just jumped itself into my faves!

Oh, Karen, what an amazing surprise on your porch!! I saw the photo! Yes, it surely made all that work so much more fun! And I love this flower and think it's a hydrangea too! After all, it's your flower, and it's gorgeous! It jumps out of the gallery with such fabulous colors, and I love the bold sentiment with the black matting! Stunning! Hugs!

my first thought when I saw your gorgeous card was, what a beautiful hydrangea... so, a hydrangea it is....I looked at the set you mentioned and it was not there, but it is in the set called, Best Thoughts. anyway, I love the layout, the wonderful colouring and the bling... very well done....
