I'm not sure I like this, but I do like the colors. I decided to use my new cuttlebug shell dies (thanks Bridget for enabling me to buy these!) when I saw the sketch this am. And some scallop shells that I've collected are a coral color, so... out came the old color wheel & thus my combo. I used SB blossom for my circle & embossed w/ a Darice ef.
HBD is from Impress. I will send this off tomorrow to my DIL.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Well, I wasn't crazy about the way my card turned out today either. I started with 3 flowers then added another and felt it looked better, but I think the circle could have been smaller. I made it the size in the picture though. Oh, well.....I do love those shells you chose, and your card is so bright and happy; sure to bring a smile to your dil's face!

Karen, a pretty b'day card especially for a summer b'day. The colors say tropics or summer and your die cut shells are wonderful. I like how you repeated the sand dollars with stamped ones on the horz. band.

I love these die cuts! I have that in my collection too. They are so perfect for making a "beach/nautical" card. Your's look fantastic on this pretty card.
