Pretty Wrappings with Designer Series Paper

I wanted to make a gift look extra special so I used the Spiral Flower Originals Die to add a cute rose to my wrapped gift.  

The die is featured on page 32 of the Spring Occasion catalog. 

I wrapped my gift in a piece of Costal Cabana DSP from the Designer Series In-Color Paper Stack and also used a coordinating design form this stack for the rose.  After I coiled the rose it just didn't look "right", so I smooshed it with the palm of my hand which made it look like an open rose bud.  I used the Secret Garden framelit to cut out Pistachio Pudding leaves.

I have an older brother that is always saying "presentation is everything".  I think he would approve of this gift wrapping and presentation.  What do you think?
