I'm thinking a lemon, a lime and an orange centered on the front of a card for the block summer party. And for the 4th of July, a star fruit in red and blue on a white card stock to make invites to the block BBQ.

If you buy celery whole and make your own celery sticks for lunchs, you have another great print. Cut the entire bottom off of the celery and dip it in paint or an ink pad and presto-- you have roses this also works with similar veggies as well. Use a cut stem of the celery opposite of each other next to the "rose" in green and you have leaves.
