Spring Tulips

I got to take a little road trip up to east Texas this weekend and could not believe all the gorgeous flowers I saw. The wild flowers along the highway included bluebonnets, Indian paintbrushes, winecups, primroses, and crimson clover. I saw dogwood trees covered with snowy white blooms, redbud trees, and flower beds lined with tulips. The tulips were a beautiful coral color and inspired my designs today for Kitchen Sink Stamps.  (Post sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps).

  3. Oh so lovely! I love the pop of red from the tulips! It looks like a walk in the park on a beautiful Spring day :) I was blessed to visit the Netherlands several times as a child and you've captured the look of the tulips perfectly!
