Yellow Poinsettia?!

I've fallen behind with the MFT challenges, so decided before bed to get a card done combining the MFT sketch (about to close) & the new MFT color combo. Yellow & orange are 2 of my least used colors, so I was at a bit of a loss.  I do love the MFT poinsettia die & half the fun of making cards is using whatever colors you want, right?! The MFT Dizzy Doily was cut from a scrap of blue cardstock & I do think it's a pretty background for the yellow felt flower.  The sentiment is from my first MFT stamp set--Spring. Looks like I didn't match some of the colors very well, so may have to try again. I'm also entering at Pixies Snippets Playground & SSS Wednesday. 
Fritz & I walk to the end of our dead end street several times a day & it's been so fun to watch our neighbor's row of trees go from bare branches to beautiful pink blooms!  

Thanks for stopping by.

    Hello Greta. Just catching up on my blogs. Lovely yellow poinsettia and it's felt! Love that! I also love the impressions on the back. It makes it visually interesting. Hope you're doing well! Have a wonderful day!

    I think with a brown center this could pass for a sunflower!! Pretty card Greta, nice texture! We have nothing in bloom yet, so nice to see those pretty trees!

    That flower really pops on that background. The blue doily was the perfect touch to help set it off too. Great texture, fun card!

    A lovely card with the yellow poinsettia! Wonderful embossed back ground that gives awesome texture! And, thank you for sharing a photo of those gorgeous trees! As, Lisa said...no blooms of anything here as of yet. I'm afraid it'll be a few weeks until we see any blooming!:-)

    Such a happy card Greta! I agree with Lisa - you could have the makings of a sunflower there :)

    Beautiful blossom too!

    Hugs

    Pretty card, Greta. Love the pink blooms too. Waiting on the Cherry Blossoms in DC to bloom. Hubs and I usually take a walk along the tidal basin.
