 Here is what I came up with....

I actually love the background and the flowers....but when I look at the whole thing I'm not sure if I like it or not....My daughter likes it,as a matter of fact she wants me to make her some of the big flowers since I used her sewing scraps to make them to begin with I suppose I'll have to make her at least one!

 I hand stitched the butterfly....and made the little flowers for the frame....

I used a bit of the fibers (from the left over scraps after making the flower) in the background, I know the effect I wanted but didn't quit achieve it LOL even if I'm not happy with the whole page at least I got to learn how to make these really pretty flowers!

thanks for coming to take a peek....any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :D
