Is this flower powerful?

It's "card" week over at Try It on Tuesdays, and the theme is Flower Power.
I have LOADS of floral stamp images, but I wanted something more "in your face":D So I used a home decor sponge stamp I bought years ago to decorate my kitchen with(but we moved house before I got chance to use it)
I stamped and cut out 3 layers + centre piece, to make one mother of a sunflower :D

I wanted a swirly/flourishy (don't know the difference) background, sooo....

I used a die cut swirly/flourish and Tim Holtz distress inks to make one. (and yes, I have a bazillion paper crafting cd's that probably have something similar, but sometimes I just like getting messy;D).

Challenges I made this card for are;

Prairie Fairy Fridays#56 Swirls and Pearls (in centre of flower, coloured with promarkers)

and I also made it for a "pink and yellow" colour combi, but I've lost the challenge :S XXX

    Hello Gina,

    I love your gorgeous Sunflower, it is really eye catching!

    The beautiful flourishy backing is also super its always so much nicer when you make it yourself, especially as no one will have the same!

    Thanks for playing along with our flourish challenge over at Delicious Doodles!

    Keryn :)
