Gorgeous tags and inspiration. Once again the purple Petaloo flowers stand out with G45 - amazing how they look together. I need to get a trunk full of purple Petaloo to go with all my G45 paper! I also loved how regal the flowers looked edged in gold. Mary Werner

Tara, your projects always rock. I love how you used mostly purple hues - it is such a beautiful colour.... I would never use the cards, I would just hoard them and display hem!

It is wonderful when the packaging of materials used is pretty enough to reuse in a project. Graphic 45 is one of those manufacturers that provide fun packaging. Love the cards--they are each over the top with eye candy.
