Purple swirls

I must admit, I totally messed it up this time. With my last exam preparations going on, April's "ATG" Fadengrafik Challenge slipped out of my mind completely. Ooops!
To catch up on it and still not waste too much pre-exam time, I used one of the puzzled pieces I've created more than a year ago. I've already tried to use it in different ways, but I never seemed to be satisfied with the result. As much as I like those decorated swirls, they didn't match anything.
Until I found this green and purple spring-ish background paper - suddenly, everything made sense. With the rich swirls and the colourful background, I even decided not to add anything else to my card as I didn't consider it necessary. 
A little contribution to the April collection of Create in Austria - artwork created by Austrians and/or in Austria.
Now it's up to you - play along by entering up to 3 projects at the Fadengrafik Challenge til May 1st. There's no given theme this month, except of course Fadengrafik ;)
