Waiting for Spring

The calendar changed to April and I know Spring will arrive in southern Minnesota pretty soon. The snow is almost gone, the sun starting to shine, and the temps are TRYING to get out of the 30s. For now I will hold off on the sandals and keep wearing a jacket. In the meantime I will warm things up with Spring cards. I had a few issues with this one. I enlarged the digi to focus just on the girl. Mid-coloring, I realized I turned the flower into a sleeve. I purposefully colored her to have a covered arm and tummy (most crafters color her with a bare tummy). I'm guessing if I didn't point it out, you wouldn't even notice; but it's all I can see. See what I mean......

Thanks for looking! Spicey Cat Chick =^..^=

My Creation
Here's the first version of the card.

I'd printed an extra flower (the full one that became the sleeve cuff) for an accent, but where to put it?
Do I place it over the sleeve oops?

Photo bombed by my helper's, Zoe, tail.

How about placing a flower in her hair? I think I like it! Pulls your eye away from the sleeve.

Image Detail

Here's a close up of the Liquid Pearl and Crystal Effects accents.

The card was originally created for a recipe challenge over at One Stop Card Crafts.
