This is a great challenge, Bev. One of my friends that had cancer told me how the smell of real flowers would just make her so sick during her treatments, and although flowers are one of the ways we like to brighten things up, we need to think about how they might make someone feel ill. These paper flowers would send that same message flowers do, without the aroma. A great substitution.

I love your delicate pink blossom, Liz! Reminds me of those awesome wildflowers in May! Thanks for the reminder about the various sensitivities some people face during treatments, and thanks for playing in the HYCCT08 challenge too!

This is beautiful.. I LOVE the paper flower idea.. My step mom is a hospice nurse and they are not allowed to wear any type of lotion or perfume.. Now I know why..
