IMHO I think it needs some ribbon, or something to make the sentiment pop...
Thanks for asking for comments, something I have not had the guts to do yet.

I think you've got a pretty start here! (Since you asked), I might suggest adding either a piece of ribbon or cardstock to separate the top and bottom sections then pop up your focal piece over that with pop dots or dimensionals to make it stand out a little more. TFS!

I like the design and agree with other posts about making the layered panel pop and defining the stop and start points.
Really nice colors and they'd look nice with some glitter in the flower's center. All in all, I smiled when I looked at your card. Thanks for sharing (and being brave enough to request comments).

Yeah, and here's the medical comment: Our eyes always search for frames because frames make fusion easier (fusion is the process of making a whole visual impression out of the two different images the right and the left eye deliver to our brain). Your card lacks such a fusion help, our eyes "search" about the card with its repeating pattern. Especially when you use repeating patterns (and not a scene) you NEED such a frame (just put your design not directly onto the card but onto a piece of cs and mat it with a contrasting color cardstock onto the card, or even draw a frame around the design!). It will look much better then - that's what alle the others told you before, but I wanted to explain to you WHY this is the thing...
