Just lovely, Brenda. The big burst of red color against the muted bg is strikingly beautiful. I would love a big poster just like this to put on the wall...all the design elements work so well together.

Bestill my heart Brenda, this is absolutely stunning!!! Wow! Red is one of my all-time favorite colors and you truly honored the color red in the best possible way with these glorious water colored poppies. Even Penny Black would be proud if she saw what you did with her poppy stamp! The bg you created is really beautiful with the colors and textures you added and it truly showcases these gorgeous flowers and this absolutely priceless sentiment! Big hugs from MN! ~Karen.

Gorgeous! Fabulous use of your new stamps. Love how you created the background. I like the multiple canvas stenciling in different directions. The splatter is a nice touch. Excellent take on the challenge. TFS

This IS beautiful....the red poppies just stand out and over such a neat but pretty bg. Like how you did that with the touch of stamping and splattering. Wonderful sentiment too, so true...TFs..:0)

These are as gorgeous as it gets and I know you will be putting your sentiment into practice! Love the spatters and cool canvas effect on this as well. Great background work.
