"May is the month when many flowers finally go into full bloom after a long winter's sleep. For the blog hop this month we want to see your favorite take on flowers."
Flowers... they actually make me think of my mum. She loves flowers, grows them all around the house. Of course when her birthday came up recently, I just HAD to integrate a flower into her birthday gift ... or rather say the packaging of it b/c we can't bring her flowers over and over again, right? So, this is how I wrapped her theater cards:

Here's a detail shot of the flower where you can also see a bit of the flap, shaped with my beloved edger dies :)
Uhum... and no she didn't find the big numbers on there all to funny, ha! Anyhow, thanks for stopping by and happy hopping :)
