How many butterflies are too many? - Just Magnolia week 66 - Sketch by Bev + Flutter by Wednesdays + Paperplay challenge week 30

Good morning everyone, how are you all doing this fabulous morning...so exactly how many butterflies are too many do your reckon, I may be borderline or just over with this card lol...its for our new Sketch challenge over on Just Magnolia which is by our wonderful Bev...I used this stunning Tilda and although she already has wings I cut them off and replaced them with butterfly wings from these amazing papers by Rayher aren't they gorgeous, they are all glazed and glittered and I just couldn't stop cutting out, the butterflies and wings and the circle behind Tilda are all cut from the papers, they don't have names just numbers 79-399-000, 79-403-000 and 79-401-000...I used a circle stamp from Simon Says for the sentiment and added a double layer of ribbon because I didn't have a wide enough one for it...just a thought but I wonder what a group of butterflies are called, let me know if you know...I'm sure there was a couple of challenges I was meant to enter this for too, I'm slowly going nuts I think...I hope you like it and when you have time pop on over to Just Magnolia and have a look at the amazing work of the rest of the team...have a wonderful day everyone...thanks to the fabulous Miria Im entering this for the Flutter By Wednesday and PaperPlay Challenge which are both Anything goes
