Jenny's favourite: #32 - Maura
Jenny says: I just love The black and white flowers against the gorgeous masked background. Love the splatters too!

Lorraine's favourite: #52 - Viv

Lynda's favourite: #20 - Angela
Lynda says: This is such a pretty little tag book, with pages of florals!

Milla says: I love everything about this card! The CAS design lets the beautiful watercoloured image shine and the sentiment stamped in gold on black is just perfect. Beautiful card!
