Text & Images Backgrounds - Design Team Tips

Just the Handmade Background

I love making backgrounds, although time consuming.  Therefore, when Laurie Schmidlin of "Just Give me Stamps" posted a PTI design team tip - "Text & Images Background", I jumped right in.  Laurie Schmidlin - Just Give Me Stamps

Although, I love all the elements of this card separately, it is a little busy in the lower right corner and will probably make some adjustment there prior to sending out to someone.  I am in love with the color combination.
