ODBDSLC75 Dots or Stripes ~Handpicked~

Happy Saturday Everyone!! I hope you are enjoying the weekend!! This has been a very weird week for us here in NY after the hurricane which came through...power outages, no phone, internet or cable throughout the week...sure hope we get back to normal soon. Mind you I am not complaining...I have so much to be thankful for...electricity, cable, phone etc. are luxuries to a lot of people around the world.

Anywho on to this week's Shining the Light challenge:

Here is my take on the challenge using the Garden Tag set at Our Daily Bread Designs and the tag die:

The Prima Romantique designer paper I used has lots of dots. The flowers are Wild Orchids which were white and were sponged with Soft Sky ink and one large Prima rose. The bow is made with my bow easy and the Wrinkled White May Arts ribbon.
