A new card design with 'twisted' wheatears and huskings

Here's something a bit different, but still exploring the possibilities of twisting the loops that are formed within quilled wheatears and huskings:

To make this card, I printed the yellow background first, then ran it through my printer again to add the two graphic 'medallions' which are obtainable as downloadable 'freebies' from the Papers and Pixels online craft magazine. (The green line and the greeting are also over-printed, of course, using my AppleMac Pages software.) Then I attached the quilled motif, which is made up entirely of experimental pieces that I had created at random over the weekend. This one is a bit different from my usual designs, but I think it works quite well.  I just love all this 'quilling with a twist' ...!
