Your encouraging comments mean so much to me as I struggle to rise to the level of expertise many of you have with floral's. Thank you! #7424690

This is gorgeous, I love the way the green frames the flowers. The repetition is really a bonus too - if I may offer... repetition is great thing in a floral but this could be even better if you could have changed your angle so that it separated the two flowers. It's more pleasing if they don't touch. The colors and clarity are outstanding too. Hope you don't mind but you sentence about struggling with florals makes me bold enough to offer my two cents??? #7543937

Karen Celella May 22, 2009
