Burtonesque Dolls Challenge #3 - Cranium and a Posy

The Burtonesque Dolls have challenged me
to make an item using a black flower and a skull.
I was going to pass on this challenge since fleurs are not really
my normal mode of embellishment, but I happened upon this bag of
silk flowers I had stashed from last Halloween's order from Oriental Trading Company.
I was not impressed with these flowers at first, but once I deconstructed one, and added 
a cool skully brad, Viola!
 
I am really on a roll with these Sweet Peas!
I'm working on the "Cheshire Cat Illusion" image, and can't wait to
finish it up!
