Tuck some portions of the flowers inside of the frames and allow some to extend outside of the frames.

  5. The flowers are very beautiful!! I love that some of the flowers are coming through the frame and others are behind it. It gives the illusion of a framed picture with some of the flowers coming through the frame. Absolutely gorgeous!!
