23-Welcome Spring altered plate

Hello everyone.  This project started out with a pink plate I got in the Easter section of the 99 cent store. When I saw it last week I thought it would be something I could alter for Easter or Spring.  Maybe add some vinyl to it but then I changed direction and this is what I came up with.  This has been a slow process as I haven't been feeling well this week but little by little I designed it on my Gypsy, finally got it cut out and then today I chalked my cuts and put it all together.  I am really happy with the bright colors.  It's going to look so cute in my entry.  
I cut a lot of the layers double and pop dotted them.  In fact I got a bunch of pop dots at the 99 cents store to.  So now I have a great stash of those.  
The flowers I punched  with an EK success punch and I added flower buttons to the top.
