I wish you could see the details on the dandelions. = (

I suspect the details in the dandelions are beautiful--wish I could see them, too, though I sense them there :) This has a very lovely, ethereal feel. One thing that I am bothered by is that the vases seem to be just hanging in mid air. I would prefer to have them 'grounded' somehow. A slight shadow might do the trick, or a hint of a table or something.

I'm afraid of shadows. Not in the literal sense of course, but putting them in correctly... I'll give it a whirl later. I posted a bigger version to my site designlotus.com, if you want to see the details. =) Thanks Karen.

I love what you did with the dandelions - detail and all - but I find the vases distracting even though they are pretty on their own. The address label looks so peaceful when it is looked at by itself.... I have checked out your blog to see the details. Your work is inspiring.

Deanne - Thanks. I agree this design needed to be reworked a bit, but I just ran out of time.
