Painted Petals Happy Birthday

I think this is my favorite set from the Occasions Catalog.

This aperture piece was sitting in the box and seemed perfect to frame the image.

I cut the image "out of the box" leaving some leaves and the bud to fussy cut.

I loved the way it could hang out of the frame.

The little banner looked kind of lost so I stamped a few flowers on it

to jazz it up.
