{Roses and polkas}

One of my favourite combinations on anything, whether it be clothing, home ware or soft furnishings is roses and dots.  It is such a classic and well tried combination of pattern.

For this card I used the beautiful 3 step rose from Picture Perfect, the detailed leaf from kinda Eclectic and the small dots from Timeless Textures.  Then to finish it off with those two little butterflies I used Grateful Bunch.  At this time of year I am fortunate enough to see butterflies in pairs as they seem to dance around each other in mid air.
