I have always loved spring in the South. But there is something special about a Pink Dogwood in spring with its gorgeous blush of pink and green as it begins leafing out. My inspiration for this sampler was a stately southern home with twin pink dogwoods. And what better way to picture spring than a romantic moment with a gentleman giving his love flowers while the animals romp around. Delicate floral borders and alphabet complete the design, capturing the genteel beauty of a bygone era.
