Grace, this is lovely! I love how you showed the whole flower bush then the close-up of just the buds. Beautiful! The lace border looks great with them, too.

This is so beautiful and so romantic looking. I especially like the way you've framed your photo with the layered mats and flower cluster.

Wow! I love photographing textures and your photo is an inspiration. I love how beautiful it looks with the sketches and subtle textures in your background.

Your photos are one of the best reasons for macro photography: Nature, close-up. These photos are beautiful and I like your choice of a soft background that doesn't compete with the vivid flowers you photographed.

Thank you for this wonderful challenge, Sylvia! I'm loving looking through the gallery! Here's mine:

This was a lot of fun. Thanks for the challenge!

Those are definitely dimples worthy of their own day! I love the round frame and the delightful and colorful way you embellished it.

Gorgeous! I love the black and white sketch effect with the bright lipstick. Oh, good.... I just realized July 29 is coming up. Time to buy a new lipstick or two! :)

You've made a beautiful tribute to those brave souls. I love the "burnt" background you gave the photos, too.

That could be any day here. I love the cute photo and your white space design.

This had me rolling on the floor laughing. I love it! Great design, too.

I picked May 13, my birthday, just for fun. This is a great challenge!! :D

Just for fun I picked my birthday. :)

@Betty Jo @Angela Toucan @joyfulheartdesigns Thanks so much! I haven't done an ATC in a while so this was a lot of fun to put together. I'm so glad you liked it.

Your ceramics are amazing! I love them all. And your garden is beautiful.

I've been admiring your whole group of layouts from the trip, Vicky. But I had to congratulate you on this one. A very well-deserved GSO! :yourock:

You do such beautiful work! I love the design here as well as how you added some black and white contrast against the red. Perfect bird choice, too.
