As always, I must share some products that fit well with the theme.  The Dancing Lilac wrap is one of my favorites and I can not wait to wear it again.  It looks so pretty on it's own, but equally as pretty layered.

  4. Wow! What patience and skill you have Laurel - that fussy cutting is superb. Pastels always make a card look so pretty and feminine and your choice of theme goes along with that perfectly. What a beautiful card. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx
