Butterfly box

A very good morning to all of my crafty friends and followers. I hope you are having a lovely start to your weekend. Here in Maidstone it feels slightly autumnal today, a little chill in the air-am hoping the summer isn't quite over yet.
For some reason I was awake at 6.00 this morning so am feeling very sleepy now- I may well just have to have a little nap later!
My project today is a box card, I've been seeing these a lot lately and my son was given one for his birthday so I thought it was about time I had a little go. Well, all I can say is I don't think there will be too many of these as I did find it quite fiddly and very time consuming. I can't say I was altogether happy with it but the family said it looks ok so what do I know!!
I covered the box panels in papers from a Wild Rose freebie pack from a magazine and the butterflies were a pack from the pound shop ( I love having a wander round there as just lately they seem to have some good bits and pieces!)
I added some die cut swirls in with the butterflies as it looked a bit empty and added some pearls to finish. The flowers were plain white so I coloured them with my promarkers in shades to match. I think I need to find somewhere else in the house to do my photographs as just lately the colours don't seem to be coming out quite true, in real life it looks a lot pinker! Here it is:
