chuck - circle flowers

chuck missed the april gathering of the lettering club. our topic was flowery stuff. there have been some samples of these flowers where each letter is turned into petals. his last name is spelled out in the leaves.
these are written with a zig .5 marker  and a pale pink zig brush marker was used to give some weight to the petals. pale mint to fill in the leaves.
i can't decide where i will write the address. to be honest, i am having trouble mailing this one. i might have to keep it for a while...

    When you blow it up you can really see how the letters make up the flowers and leaves.
    Very smart. Perhaps earth, grass, or terra cotta could be the address. Good pick on the stamp

    Perhaps the address could undulate in a line over the flowers as a butterfly path...

    ...or snaking in and out between the stems...
