Spring flowers

This weeks challenge at Less is More is 'Spring' so I thought it had to be spring flowers, and so I chose this digi of tulips, coloured them and cut them out with my nestabilities and mounted them on red card scalloped nestabilities, then the fun began.... I have had my first try at circular text, which I did in Microsoft Publisher using the Papyrus font, it took a bit of playing to get the circle the correct size, but luckily the first time I printed it it was perfect.

    Great card Jose.
    Well done on the circular text, it suits the card perfectly.
    Maybe we should do a tutorial in MS Word on "Less is More" sometime.
    I love those tulips, they're such a neat flower!
    Great to see you again and see you next week!

    Oh Jose .....you're so clever! This is wonderful!
    I've just spent ages trying to line up straight rows and add an image to the front of a card.........argh!!!!
    In answer to your question No Publisher on the Mac.
