Flutter byWednesdays #234--flowers + butterfly/fairy (my flowers are tiny--under the little pearls on the left side)

Your card is delightful, really good image that you've coloured in.

Thank you for joining us at Fab 'n' Funky, and of course the best of luck.

We've had rain here in Oxford today, so I picked a great theme.
