A Lovely Rose by Any Other Name

I had this 8x10 picture around for a few years and never scrapped it.  I didn't really know what to do with it, but it was so pretty that I had to give it a special touch.   I took this picture in my front yard at the height of the rose season.

This week at BBTB2 our hostess, Pam says our challenge is anything to do with flowers.  So you get a double dose, roses from Cricut and my garden roses.   I had a hard time coming up with a title for my layout, looking up synonyms for the word awesome.  I finally settled on my own title "Lovely". The tag says "The Secret Garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles."

All cuts are from the Cricut Art Nouveau cartridge. There are three layers of leaves and I made two layers for the flowers.   The background paper is DCWV, and the sayings are G45 Secret Garden.  I added bling to complete my flower challenge.  Come on over to BBTB2 and link up your flower project.   Enjoy!
