Did you buy this month's Crystal Flourish Add On? It's simply beautiful.

Here's a tip for easy placement when using the flourishes. When using the larger flourishes, instead of trying to pull up the entire flourish cut it into smaller sections and piece together on your layout. It makes it much easier, than trying to pick up the entire flourish, while maintaining it's shape and placing. Have fun!
