Today’s Sunday Social card features the outgoing Citrus Blooms Suite. I’ve created both portrait and landscape version. Not sure which one I like better. Whenever there’s a chance to die-cut images from patterned paper, I’ll take it.

At this date, the stamp set is only available in French. However, don’t be afraid to purchase the French version. The images and dies are the same in both. The difference is only in the greetings. Take a look at the difference.

 The French Mediterranean Blooms suite is on the last chance list as well. Here’s what it looks like.
