This image is part of the 2009 floral collection. The set is called Wildfower Silhouettes.
The greeting says: "Believe in miracles and the magic of a new day!"
Due to the space remaining on the card and wanting to keep it balanced, I decided to just use the beginning of the greeting. To do this, I simply used a marker to ink just the parts I wanted.
