I had fun with this one. I used Heather Nichol's page die and
tutorial to make this one. And yes, I used Delightful Dahlias yet AGAIN. But I'm stopping now. I needed a quick focal point, and I had stamped the dahlias on Hawaiian Shores already, so... After stamping the sentiment, I realized it faded into the polka dots, so I used some clear embossing powder and got my trusty gun out. It still doesn't pop the way I'd like, but it'll do. I'm really trying to work on my background stamping. It's hit or miss. I can see the breaks in the background on this card, but I really didn't want to waste the card...

This is really cute! Those dahlias just pop. If you wouldn't have said anything, I would have thought you purposely spaced the bg dots apart. Looks neat like that.

All of your Dahlia cards are wonderful!! I really like the yellow one! TFS
I actually love the background! It makes it look like panels. Love the way you have the 3 flowers in a row. And such a gorgeous bow!!
