Muse Challenge #12 Voting Results

We had a veritable garden to choose from this week! So many lovely, springy cards were linked up.

Thanks to those who voted for my card - when any members of our DT play along, we will put "(no vote)" after our name, as our cards are really just meant as additional inspiration, not as cards eligible for voting. So please, put your votes to better use by voting for fellow members.

And now, with no further ado:

Now it's time for this week's card. Nothing says spring more than green! Laurie has a beautiful card that incorporates an elegant script pattern on a fresh green window cut frame.
