The name can be placed anywhere The holder will be delighted, you may be sure. w Tiny flowers are lovely when pressed and placed-separately around the edge of a round card. A few of

the leaves should be mixed in also. Forget-me-nots, asters, yellow violets, lilacs, lllies-of-the-valley are easily made to contribute to your work.
