A rose is not always just a rose
I'm not really the sweetness and light type, nor Victorian, and no one in my life is getting married or does girl stuff. Why 5 starts? This rose pattern screams wall paper to me. It scuffs up really well. I've used it as journal page background to great effect. I've also cut out some of the roses for collage -- the pinks and greens form nice flowers without being fussy or detailed. This is a nice addition to my paper stash.
