Beads, Buttons and Bows
Even though I'm a bit behind, I could not let an opportunity to create a button tag go by!
A few days ago, Karen from The Graphics Fairy gave us all this gorgeous vintage picture of a girl picking apples. I though it was perfect -- for Fall, and for this challenge. Her apron got a bow, the apples she's picking are sewn-on red beads, and the buttons are along the bottom edge for balance.
I couldn't find ribbon in just the right shade, so I used some silky fabric, cut narrowly and frayed. (Did you notice I just rhymed?) Come visit me some time on Button Floozies, another blog of mine; we LOVE buttons over there!
