I finally figured out what was missing from this card.....I placed a bow in the empty space. (See my other card without the bow). I think that balances the card much better. The ribbon is from Joann's.
Don't you think this is better?

The 'other' one looked fine, but I know what you mean, sometimes we 'know' something is called for- and with your embelli stash, I think you have pulled it off Lesley! Beautiful! I love the dew drops.
