Cardmaking - a harlequin background created with squares and a fussy cut rose in a large circle

I started by fussy cutting the rose and its colours inspired the rest of the card.  I trimmed a green card and then dug into the stash for the little baggie of red squares.  I laid them out roughly and they seemed to work reasonably well for making a harlequin background.  So I played with the squares until I was happy with the lay out, drew some vertical lines where the points of the squares would line up and then just glued them into place one row at a time.  Worked out perfectly!!!!  I adhered my rose to a round circle and added a dashed line in green pen all the way around.  That inspired the wiggly lines in the green squares.  I mounted the focal element to the front of my card using 3D foam tape.   Love the card!!!
