We hope you'll play along!  The LEAD of this challenge will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!  Please visit the Curtain Call Challenge blog for all the challenge info and deadline.

Here's my take on the challenge.  Those vivid red flowers from the inspiration picture were what caught my eye, so I wanted to be sure to include something similar in my design.  I created a pair of red flowers using hibiscus stamps from a SugarPea Designs stamp set.  The images were cut out with the matching dies, then used them to dress up a wreath made from swirlie die cuts. I layered several of the swirlie die cuts to give my wreath dimension.  I adhered the wreath to a soft blue cardstock panel over a narrow strip of orange cardstock.  The flowers and leaves were arranged along the right side of the wreath. 

For the sentiment, I die cut the word "hello" from the SugarPea Designs Chatterbox Journal Card die set from both red cardstock and craft foam.  After layering the two die cuts, I adhered them to the orange strip.  The finished panel was adhered to a white card base.
