My stepmom always talks about her getting the first spring flowers for her birthday when she still lived in Europe.
F4A359: dies

lots of blue
old: never used this stamp before and the twine is pretty ancient. The curved borders are old. Nothing borrowed.

Here in France we offer them as a symbole the 1st May it's THE day of work (labour's day) and your card makes me think about that it brings luck when you offer them.
Your colors and design are fantastic

How very sweet. I was going to say the same as Snietje, the French even also call May 1st "the lily of the valley celebration". My mother was French and I really associate them with her. I love the way you've used the little twine bow to tie them together just like a real posy. The blue background is gorgeous - have fun with your new colorbursts.

Gorgeous card! Love the colorburst background and those wonderful flowers. I can't wait for spring. It is very frigid in the deep south today

I love these lily of the valleys!! I can almost smell them now. I love them partially because they remind me of my grandma. They also have one of the sweetest and purest smells. Your card is gorgeous. Thank you for the preview to spring. :>)
