For today's challenge- I was the lucky recipient of this cute 2 flower card in a window box, complete with stake style sentiment. I added my own group of dragonflies, 3 butons, and a lilac sparkly bow to "make it my own"- here's double flower birthday

I found that I have a set of 6 colors of micro beads that I have never used, so I had to make another card for this challenge.

Seems so simple to use these embellishments but hard to make them fit beautifully at times! Great challenge.
