I think I got it...

So now I'm thinking- ok I have a focal point and the colors aren't too bold together. Home run right? Not so much- where's the message he asks? Ok, I'm finally getting it. But on a side note, I really loved making this card and I still think it's really cute! You can't tell in the pic but the apples come off the card with 3-D squares.
PS- I should mention that my husband went to school for graphic design so he has an eye for this stuff and I ASKED for his feedback! I don't want to you to think he's some kind of mean person! Haha!
