The lovely flower people at Bunches have converted the calendar

I created for their customers

(see here for my previous post from earlier in the year)

into desktop downloads....

For each month I have illustrated a quote from one of their customers about

how they plan to create happiness throughout 2012.

Happiness Calendar...

It's always great to see designs I've created in print and I was really

looking forward to seeing this 2012 calendar I created for Bunches.

Each month features a quote from one of their customers about

how they'd like to create happiness!

Bunches also have a new website here....featuring some of my illustrations as

well as their lovely bouquets. These orchids are my favourite!
