Fun Summer Greeting Card

I've made this little card (10x11cm) for a Creative Inspirations Challenge, Challenge #91.  (I've missed the challenge due date, but I made the card anyway!)
Here was the challenge layout:
And here's what I came up with!  A fun little flowery summer greeting card:
I've used the colours green, yellow & orange, and purple (the flower and "hello" look blue, but they're purple!).  I used some yellow bling on the borders of the centre square, to make it stand out, since I used the same paper as the background and it kind of faded away in with the background.
For the purple flower, I stamped it onto white card stock, cut it out and 3D mounted it onto the card, and also added an embellishment in the middle of it.  2 of the little sunflowers I also 3D mounted.
For the Hello! sentiment, I used individual little rubber letter stamps to spell out the word. 
And that's it!  A really fun little card to make. :)
