Now this is quite beautiful my dear friend. I love the purple and that orange center is just gorgeous and interesting. I love the dof and all the warm spring colors of flowers that come to mind. The drops of water on the side of the flower is a special touch. It certainly has that warm spring day feeling it gives us my friend.
Annie and I hope your day is just as warming and beautiful. #9168766
