Your Potential is Endless (Maureen W) Aust

Afternoon all

Hope your all keeping well in self isolation , and that your staying occupied and happy.

This morning I spent a few hours fussy cutting flowers for a challenge over on the Studio challenge blog. The challenge was to use floral papers and flowers on your layouts. I cut my floral paper to bits to make it my background to sit my photo on top of it.
I am just hoping this fits the criteria. It was any easy layout to put together
