Today's set, Daffodil Greetings, just screams yellow and green! And both of my cards today use that color combination. My first card is a standard A2 shape. After stamping the single daffodil, I used a round "plastic canvas grid" as the template for the pierced circle around the bloom. The center of the flower is stamped twice, popping one up for dimension.

My second card is a Joy-Fold card. I added a pearl flourish embellishment.

Both cards are just lovely and I like how you've pierced around the blossum on the top card and the punch you used is awesome. Your second card is pretty and your paper is awesome and the pretty pearls are wonderful!
