It's the 15th again.....time for a Dueling Darling card!! This month the theme is Sunflowers. My sister, Debby (littledeb) and I are a team on the Dueling Darlings. She is on Team Dazzlers and I'm on Team Divas.
Deb and I picked Sunflowers for our theme because we just love these little rays of sunshine. Sunflowers are just a beautiful start to all the FALL colors to come. This time of year in Texas the fields are full of sunflowers and are just so bright and inviting. Unfortunately, our FALL tree colors in Texas aren't always the beautiful colors we expect at this time of year!! Namely when we have had the lack of rain....until recently!! So, I have to remind myself that "brown" is a color!!!
The new Stitched Seasons framelit set was perfect with this card and my little paper buttons. I sent the paper buttons because they are a little more "forgiving" when they are mailed!!! I'm so excited how the card turned out...with a country Fall theme to it!!
Keep a little sunshine in your heart!!
Thanks for popping in for a look!!

Oh my Suzy what a great card. I love your layout and and I love the way you used the paper buttons. Thanks for the awesome kit and theme. I love the way you colored the center of your flower so one can see the little ladybug. I should have thought of that.....
