The Vintage Wallpaper Folder makes a nice, soft background for this card.

Made this card today and loved how easy and beautiful it was. I used the cloud EF and put some grass below the clouds and I have my beautiful colorful butterfly soaring in the clouds. Thank you for this tip on how to get a colorful swallowtail without a lot of intensive coloring!
