Default Does this need 'something'?
I'm going to a baby shower for a distant cousin this Saturday. I don't have much time between now and then, this is what I've quickly pulled together. It feels like it's still lacking something and I haven't any idea what to do to it to "finish" it off. Any suggestions, please? Thank you.

... I think this helps. Right after posting I thought to try a semi-circle behind the dangling charm. I layered blue on white and gel-penned in the dots, echoing the dots in the blue ribbon.

Please don't you would spoil it. the words look great and you can read them all.

You would just be gilding the Lily...

Such a lovely card.

So how did you do the background on this? It's very pretty and interesting.

I think it looks lovely. It's blue, so is it for a baby boy? I think if you added anything else it might start to look too girlie.

It doesn't need a thing! It is beautiful, and your cousin will be thrilled.

Looks like she brayered blue ink onto the embossing folder before running it through the machine with white card stock -- this technique is becoming very popular, and if you check the gallery you can probably find lots more lovely examples!

Oh, yes, I see that now. Thank you very much for enlightening me.

She did a beautiful job. I hope she puts it into her gallery.
