I was inspired by Marieke Vermeulen's frames a couple of months before and I have decided to use her idea for framing my granddaughter's photo.

Although it may look like a layout, it is actually a card 5,5"x5,5" in size.

She is a very Girly Girl so there are a lot of flowers surrounding her photo. I thought it would be my entry for Paper Take Weekly challenge "Blooming Gorgeous".
