Love the details, colors and the placement of the flower. Only wish for a different angle on the butterfly.

the butterfly is nice, but that gerber daisy could stand on it's on!!! i guess it doesnt help that that is my favorite flower.

while this angle shows some nice colors in the bf, i agree with OZ that a different angle might be better.
