This is less "editing" the photo than it is cutting it up, but my first few attempts at edits didn't come out very well, and this was the only thing that really came to mind:
Yellow Flower Wreath
  1. Found a good center flower and a good edge flower
  2. Isolated those and adjusted color/density/sharpness/etc.
  3. Made a horizontal mirror image of each flower
  4. Put the side flowers on a lower level and lined everything up
  5. Created three separate layers with the word "April"
  6. Colored the middle text layer blue, and the bottom one green
  7. 1px gaussian blur on the black text, 5px on the blue, and 10px on the green
Not exactly sure why I went with "April" as a word... not feeling to imaginative right now and "April" looked nicer than "Spring".
