Karen aka redbugdriver was named Queen for the Day. Yea, Karen! I was really familiar with her cards and went searching for just the right one. Here is the card I cased: FS187 ~ Merci to Asian by Redbugdriver at Splitcoaststampers I moved your butterfly up a bit and changed it to a ribbon and button, and added the sentiment above. Then, I used a punch at the bottom of my image. You know me, Karen, I have to do things my way...just a bit. LOL You have a wonderful gallery of choices and I'm so happy to see you reign this week as royalty. Too bad Pamzi is under the weather...or maybe that is a good thing for you. Bbbwwwwwaaa

Benzi, your card is spectacular. it just leaps off the gallery page. Your geranium blossoms and leaves are colored so exquisitely. The surrounding details only add to the overall beauty.

Wow, Brenda, such a gorgeous geranium image - and colored so realistically - your BG DP certainly complements the flowers and your ruffly ribbon and that fancy brad brings out the beautiful green tones. Nice touch with the From the garden note "torn" from your notebook!! Karen will be so pleased to see this card in her honor!

What great colors on this beautiful card, and the papers are really cool. Everything seems to work together so well on this garden card - it has been so pretty here, I actually wanted to go outside and do something (not really, but I thought about it which is a change).
