The colors and florals from the inspiration photo led me directly to some pretty Echo Park papers called Beautiful Day!  What better stamp set than Verve's Sunny Days, Pennant Trim, Sweet Scallop, Floral Circles & Leafy Sprigs Dies to brighten things up even more!

My budget is in so much trouble with this entire blog hop!! I am seeing florals that I had never noticed before. Your bold pink flowers have turned me on to yet another fun set!

That wide banner is a great addition to cards. I like how it works well with all the other elements.
