Happy Anniversary

Happy Easter! Hope your having a good day. I am just doing this quick post before I get ready for my friends to come over for a Turkey dinner. The house is clean, the turkey is in the oven and just need to get the side ready, have a shower and we're ready to go.

Here is another Anniversary card I have made for one of my friends to give away.

I used three shades of peach/orange for the flower and I'm not totally sure I like how it turned out. Maybe another colour added would have made a better contrast.
