Boy!! I think this is really cute! What a good idea you had to highlight certain words the way you did!! I think the card is great just the way it is, but, maybe you could add a piece of vellum behind the square.

I love this! I don't think it needs much, if anything....maybe just ink the edges of the blue layer with the cocoa (or add a cocoa mat?) Ooooh!...do you have any of those tiny little safety pins? Those would be cute added to the ribbon. Great card!!

I think it is a cute card, but agree with the others that a cocoa mat would set off the blue a lot more than the white. Or just DTP around the edges with the cocoa. Or just leave as is - it is still cute!

Thank-you ladies for your suggestions!! I did add a close to cocoa mat with the stair-step corner punch in the upper right, then added it to the white card stock. I am printing the inside info on my computer, so wanted to mount the card front on white. Tried DTP, just wasn't quite happy with it. The baby pins sounds cute tho.....
