Default Hummingbirds

Here's a pattern that I just cut for an upcoming friend's wedding this week. The pattern is a combination of a leaf from the latest issue of this magazine and the hummingbirds are a pattern from tas2181 I think on AFSP. I cut it from 1/4" birch. Any comments or critiques are welcome. ( the designers names are on the back of the cutting as well)

Hi Sherri .Did you cut the birds in or paint them on ? All the same it looks good .
Will it be a wall plaque ? Would veining the leaf make any difference ?
Enjoy the wedding . Roger

The backing is blue felt. The way the picture was taken gives it a bit of a different effect from what it actually looks like. I didn't have time to give it much detail, but the people who are receiving this are just like hummingbirds, never really stopping all that much to relax and take life in. I think they will like it, I hope!
Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for the feedback. It measures 10x6 1/2". I thought they could use it as a trivet or a wall hanging piece so I put a hanger on the back that could be taken off if they wish.
