OWH Sketch 175

Flowers on a Fence.

Operation Write Home Sketch #175  I have to admit, when I first saw the sketch I really didn't care for it.  It looked just too ... blah?  A border and four one inch squares.  But, once I started, I liked the results.  I changed the border into a fence and the four one inch squares into four one inch flowers.  And I rounded a couple of the corners. The extra flowers that I added are covering up an oops (Liquid Pearls smear).  Here is my card:
