Here's my take on the sketch...

I followed the sketch and the photo on this design! That photo looked like a fun beach party so I had to go "tropical paradise" today!

I created a "sunset" background layering two blue Zig Zag Stitched Circles and topping them with the ymmy new Pineapple Paradise Pineapple!

A pretty flower - from the Funky Wreath Spring Addition - I think this one looks like a hibiscus don't you?

I love the font for the sentiments in this set. I stamped this one on a Stitched Flag die.

I broke up the two busy pattern papers with a solid strip of card stock. The bitty green border was cut with a Pretty Pink Posh stitched border die I think the stitching on all the elements helps bring it together.

The solid matt for the pineapple also helps break up the pattern papers. The finishing touch? Some bling! A sprinkle of clear sequins does the trick!
