It almost seemed as if the Think and Wonder little girl inched her way closer and closer to the corrugated cardboard so that it would catch your eye and you would get the hint. I've had images do that to me on my own crafting table :) Gorgeous custom coloring on the flowers and butterfly. The diagonal placement gives the such movement. The butterfly in the right hand corner does indeed seem poised to soar.

I love that you used the corrugated, but I liked the other background too. :) You know, I have seen a lot of blog posts where people have shown their process, but I think that this was the first one that shows the "choices" phase of creating. I found it really, really fascinating.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us this week for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.
