Natural Beauty?

My husband has been a jewel in all that he's done for me since I had my surgeries last year.  So I wanted to make a special thank you card for him. This one has been on the back burner for some time. And I have to say that this card is by far one of my favorites.  I had the most fun doing it.  The idea has been swimming around in my mind for several months, and now I've finally been able to execute it.  Originally I was going to make this a typical card.  However, I realized that it needed more room because the captions needed to be spaced out.  (This is ALL one card; the front here, folds down and you have the second layout; then you fold the top up and you will see the last sentiment, the older woman and the butterfly on the doily.) I folded two pieces of cardstock in half, and adhered one to the other, so it had three pages.) So here's the front of the card:

The image is from Sweet Pea Stamps and is one that I've had for over a year, but have never gotten around to using, even though I had already colored the image.  The beautiful butterfly die, doily, sunflower and the embossing plate on the back  page of the card is from  Cheery Lynn Designs.  A dear friend sent several of these to me for a gift.   Woo Hoo!  The card front opens down and this is what you see next:

The punch on the top is one of the deep cut ones from MS. And now finally, here's the really fun part of the card; which you see by lifting the page with the two sunflowers up:

Of course I'm sure most of you recognize the image from  Bugaboo Stamps   These are such funny characters.  And my caption for this image is:
