I made this for Jen's latest Limited Supply Challenge -- to use unloved embellishments on a card with flowers. This isn't a flowered image -- but the lady bug DOES have a flower in her 'hair' as well as in her 'hand' -- but the background paper is floral -- doesn't that count?! And check out those awful Karen Foster Boot Loopy brads aren't those the worst?!

Hahahaha! This made me laugh, Carole, as I have a ton of those brads (different brand) and have NO idea what to do with them. You did a great job with the challenge! Wonderful coloring!

I always love your cards... love the color on this one, and the sweet love bugs. Yes, this counts as floral for sure!
I've never even SEEN those types of brads, and I thought I would have at least been exposed to (i.e. tempted to purchase) every product known to woman. I guess they are kinda silly... but your treatment is VERY effective. Adds texture and color, without detracting from those sweet sweet love bugs.
Your heavy color emphasis really balances things out.
TFS TruCarMa... I have always loved your cards since the day you were featured stamper.

This card is so fun! I wasn't brave enough to buy those brads, cuz I didn't know what to do with them......now I know.
