Tropical foliage is my favorite! Large lush leaves in an array of greens make me so happy. I can’t explain it. The Artfully Composed Suite with the Artfully Layered Bundle is my happy place! I really like the look of two different fonts as seen in the sentiments and this color combo using the new Parakeet Party and Orchid Oasis is stunning.
