Spring wreath


     The weather has been so wonderful here lately.  It's a bit over cast but the temps are great.  Time to put out spring wreaths on the doors so I thought I'd create a card with this sweet wreath from Purple Onion Designs.
     I added some dots of paint in pink and yellow for a little dimension and interest.


     Enjoy your day!
Tracy

Well it sure feels like spring around here as well, but that will change tomorrow. We have had heavy rains for 2.5 days, lots of flooding in Ontario. Your card is so pretty. I love the little wreath, and the circle die is perfect for it. Great use of all the dies on this card. TFS!

It's definitely feeling like spring in Ohio. Even the spring flowers are starting to poke their heads above ground. Love your beautiful card. The dots of color are the perfect finishing touch!

Oh, yes! It's so very pretty, Tracy! Not much Spring happening around here yet...which is just fine with me, as you probably know! It feels like -33 C (-27 F) this morning which is quite a bit warmer than yesterday. So maybe it is more Springy today! haha

Well it's cold here Tracy ... I can't wait for Spring! At least I can enjoy your beautiful creations and I love this one!

This is such an awesome card and awesome design, my friend! I really love your use of the patterned papers here.... the graphic look of all the stripes and angles is super eye catching. And you really made that little wreath image shine and be the star of the show. Not always easy with smaller images like this. <3

Tracy, what a beautiful card! I love the sweet wreath, and your layout is beautiful with such great DP and is so striking! You sure have the most beautiful and creative layouts! I love them! Our weather is gorgeous here in South Florida, and things are growing faster than we can keep up with. Haha! But we have "caved in" and hired some help to do some landscaping. That's been nice. Hugs, sweet friend! xoxo

Oh my....Spring sounds so good. We're getting snow today. And as dry as it's been, we'll take whatever we can get in the desert southwest. Beautiful card Tracy. Love the little pink and yellow dots you used on the wreath.
Hugs, Geri

What a creative card this is! I love the design and the single strip of striped paper turned the opposite way is so striking and eye catching. It looks so good against the plaid and the whole card does make one think about spring.
We are a ways from spring here but every day it gets closer and closer. Spring is my favourite time of year and I am always happy to see the snow and cold gone.

Love your card and I wish I could say the same here but it is not so warm - spring will be a lot longer for us in the North!!! Enjoy!
