A secondary goal was to try some new creative techniques or materials.

Angelina fibers - stamped
Rosebud photos printed on cotton, appliqued and thread painted.
Purchased leafy vine appliqued
Haiku printed on Extravorganza - edges fringed and painted
Scattered beads
Sheer tulle layered over the piece
Layered and quilted
Edges finished with zigzag stitch

January is lovely - I prefer it to February.
You may be unhappy with the gold cloud ? - might have been better continuing a bit behind the rose stem - more integration of elements.
BUT too late to fix that - why not make a more definite edge with a gentle cord under more zig zagging - will give it a more finished feel. Might make you happier.
Helen, thank you. This is exactly the kind of feedback I am looking for. Yes, It is a composition issue. I agree with your suggestion plus i think I would rearrange the rose vine a bit to give it a little more "free flowing" look - perhaps curve to the right a bit more. We can learn so much by doing these smaller pieces and again Thanks!
