I turned the floral border 90 degreees so the blue ledger continues from the body up to the top flap. That allowed me to have a L-shape of red florals. And the embellishments were clustered in that L corner to create my sentiment of 'beautiful You'.

The teal paper has been moved to the bottom flap and I anchored it with a smaller embellishment cluster. Repeating what was used from the top cluster - what's left of the red label and another red brad - draws the eye along the invisible diagonal.
I initially planned to cover most of the handwritten script but I'm glad the final design allowed it to take center stage on the pocket. In case you're wondering, the pockets are numbered #4 to #6 because I intend to send them out to the winners of my next three Sandy's Challenge.
This went out to Luzma

So lovely! Thank you so much for sharing all three of these pockets Sandy! They'll be wonderful gifts for your prize winners! I can sure learn from you, my friend!...Nancy :o)

I think this pocket is my fave (although I love them all!). The idea of using the edges of the paper is genius--I never know what to do with those papers. Thanks!
