Challenge #78 - April Showers Bring May Flowers

Hello everyone! It's Brittany with my very first challenge for the Paper Girls Challenge Blog!

Every time I think about Spring, I can't help but think of rain...I am from the Northwest, anyway.  I love the smell after a fresh rain, and even more the sights and smells of all the new blooming flowers that rain helps bring. So I want to see what inspires you when you think about rain...and even better, the quote "April Showers Bring May Flowers". Here is the little card I put together thinking of all the rain, AND sunshine, mixed with all the new blooms in my yard right now. 


And now, here is what our fabulous design team came up with! I can't wait to see what your interpretation of this challenge will be!





And now...the winner of Challenge #77 - Pastel Eggstravaganza:
