Here is the gorgeous inspiration photo for the Hop:
Now. I may have lost sight of the colors, but I had those stripes in mind, and those Zigs on my table, and before you know it, I lost mine - mind that is!! So here goes:
For the Papertrey Ink January 2017 Blog Hop:
I thought their darling Scalloped Cover Plate added the stripes but just a touch of whimsy to the very serious, and beautiful, Botanical Blocks II ... so I hope they agree, and disregard my colors? Yikes ... only one entry - perhaps I should have gone back to the drawing board.
Thanks for the visit!!

Super adorable card!! Love the wonky stripes!
I love this- colors don't have to be exact- it's how you were inspired!! Those scalloped stripes are the perfect touch!
The scallops are probably what my cookies would look like if I tried to frost stripes, Michele. ;) They give a whimsical look to your card.
Michele, that's the beauty of inspiration photos. We can interpret them our way, and there's no right or wrong. I love your card with the wonky scallop stripes.
Wow! What a beauty, Michele! Your flower colour is amazing!

The beautiful bold bloom is so striking, Michele ... love how you've paired it with those whimsical scallopped stripes ... they're so fun! Hugs, Anita :)
This is so pretty Michele! I love that fun scalloped background and how your beautifully colored flower really pops against it. So fun!!
Perfect, love your pretty card.
This is just gorgeous! I love the look!
Look at all the love coming your way Michele! Such a striking card. I like those scallop stripes. They help your coloring shine, that is for sure! Some blooms just want to be front and center and show off brightly like yours. Great sentiment. You are very creative and clever and achieving wonderfully the goal you set for challenges!! Hugs! :)
WOwza, the inspiration photo AND your card are all beautiful! Both are delicious!!
Get out of town! You know how to colour (really well)! Do you even realize how much I love this one?!!

This is gorgeous, Michele! Fabulous take on the inspiration photo!
Fantastic love the contrast of the colors with the black scalloped stripes.
Oh, I love your take on the inspiration cookies, Michele!!!! (...have never had a cookie with black frosting ...they look so beautiful I would not want to eat them!!!!!! LOL!!!!! ...must have taken quite some time to do them!!!!) What I love most about your card is the fact that you lost your mind (LOL!!!!) and created a card that is so different to all the rest and wonderfully unique!!!!! I really love those scallops and the B&W makes a fabulous bg for your beautiful floral panel!!!!! And as for the yellow ...fabulous!!!! This card is simply stunning, my friend!!!
