Tips

- Use washable paint for easy cleanup
- Let kids add extra hearts or colors if they want
- Looks great framed or slipped into a card
Hi,
I have enjoyed many of your patterns. However, when I try to do the Mother’s card it comes us blank. I would think it was my computer, but it is labeled blank.
I figured you need to know.

I LOVE the wish flower for mother’s day! When I print it there is a gray background and frame. Is there a way to upload it so it is white in the background?
I did it just for you! 😊 I love the original too, but I totally get wanting a white background. The new version is just above the Grandma one 💛
YOU ARE THE BEST!
