So I'm trying to make my Grandma a last minute wall hanging Christmas gift. We haven't been able to get together yet to celebrate the belated holiday, so I'm hoping to get this done in time. Grabbed a rose PP pattern off of Regina Grewe's site (http://www.reginagrewe.de/index_e.html) and put this together. It didn't come out quite like I had hoped - I think I should have switched the medium and darker reds.

Added a green border and then red :)

Very pretty work. What about a small green border, then the darker border?
