Here's what I've created for the challenge.

A closer look at this delightful image from A Day for Daisies.

This image is titled 'Mothers Day Flowers.'

Mother's Day in my part of the world is on the second Sunday in May, so I thought this image would be just perfect for my card.  The digital stamp is available from the A Day for Daisies website HERE.
