Brutal honesty - Hmmm it's tricky, I like the hanging hodgepodge and the dog tag, but the BG looks a bit "dirty" to me. I also think a ribbon up and down on the crimped part would look nice

honesty thread: I would get rid of the crimping too, it doesn't seem to match the rest of the theme of the card? the background is so pretty I want to see more of it cute card!

Honesty: I'm not fond of rounded corners. I like the crimping, but maybe add ribbon on it? Love the colors and the doubled-up hanging hardware (cool idea).

BH Thread - The stamp sets don't seem to coordinate all that well...could you try a different stamp for the background? Put a dark plum ribbon vertically over the left side corregated part (no bow) I do like the layout - original!

BH thread - The whole crimped piece needs to go, I think. The color clashes and it overwhelms the rest of the card. Replace it with something non-crimped in a softer color, or maybe some wide organdy ribbon.

Being honest... I'd make the crimped piece narrower and add some dark-purple ribbon up and down it, with a simple knot near(ish) to the top. Great colours!
