I feel for you, cjt. But your page certainly has a lovely Spring-like feel. As I have mentioned before, I am still learning about scrapping. That being said, I have a feeling that cats4jan or Lillias or jackscrap might have an idea as to how you could integrate the white flowers into your page a little bit better. |

I am not a fan of drifting things. If you like the flowers, I suggest you anchor them with the branch.
Realize, you can resize any graphic, flip it, duplicate it, etc.

The beauty of digital scrapbooking (and the curse) is the never ending ability to change things...
Looking forward to seeing your revision.
But I have to say - when creating 'art' and I do call digital scrapbooking 'art' - the only person you need to please is yourself, so no matter what suggestions others make, realize it's your vision.

Looks like your trees and shrubs are ahead of ours. Poplar buds are swelling but it has been so cold here. Tulips leaves and daff leaves are up in the yard, but they will be a long while blooming. Good luck with spring. |

Nope, cheated!! Phots are a couple of years old! I did say sometimes real and sometimes not!

Image things as first version i.ibb.co/2cC8dqC/Spring-maybe-1a.jpgFound photo of what we call crocus in the Great Plains, one of our very earliest spring flower. The bird might have been too much distraction? Check gallery for another attempt at Spring cjt |

I am not going to take a photo, as it is pouring with rain. My crocus are single, I haven't seen double ones before. As you may know, I am no expert, but I like your 2nd attempt more.  |

Our Prairie Crocus (common name) is actually Anemone patens. In case anyone looks it up.

Just had a look at my gardening Encyclopaedia. All of ours have Crocus, followed by the latin variety name.
We also have Anemones which come in different shapes and sizes. All lovely.

Our Prairie Crocus (common name) is actually Anemone patens. Yes, we call them crocuses but they are anemones. They are so pretty. Ours bloom from early April until early May depending on location and weather. |

Nice, cjt ...and I like the second one better, too! I also appreciate the botany lesson from you and others. In New Jersey, our crocuses are really crocuses. LOL |
