Hibiscus Flowers w/Greens; Style1:Right Facing Tile

* Do you just LOVE the tropical delight, the Hibiscus? * Wouldn't it be just divine to look upon them year round? Wha-la! Noooo, they're not "realsville" to be sure... but this IS a rather pretty artistic impression of them anyways, wouldn't you agree? * A lovely twosome of tropical flowers with natural yellow-green toned tropical leaves * Full bloom Hibiscus flowers: Shades of Salmon pink, slightly darker red * Flowers open to the right in this tile; hence the “right facing” in the title... * Perfect for hanging on the wall by themselves (or far better yet in a grouping) as the sink backsplash or backdrop behind the stove for use as a spoon rest or trivet (if you promise to clean them regularly!) ;) * They can also be framed tiles, framed art, etc or even used to permanently decorate a "Keepsake Box top"... * The sky's the limit how they can be used or displayed!
