Victorian Rose clip art for labels and frames from antique scrap books

Pinks and greens are so pretty together. At one time I had a soft flowing (chiffon?) pink nightgown with lace and tiny tucks at the bodice. A narrow green velvet ribbon was threaded through the lace. So feminine.

That is how the Victorian roses and labels make me feel. Very girlie.

Thank you for visiting and please come by again.

 You just never know what might be posted! 

much love,
