I have seen crocheted flowers on other cards and layouts and mentioned it to my husband, who is the yarn person in the family. He said, "I can do that!" and then did. In fact, he's still doing it. I now have quite the collection of little crocheted flowers of various sizes, colors and patterns, and it's growing.

I'm not really a crocheted flower sort of person, but I can't let his enabling good deed go to waste! I think they work quite well with the shabby/vintage style, too. Right now I'm attaching them with brads (the centers of the flower are small enough to do so, at least on the ones I've used so far), and I like the look of that. Glue dots would probably hold them well, too, but I haven't tried it yet.
