There is something about pansies that take you back in time. Everyone loves them. See also The Beauty of Pansies on Glass.
 
To prevent painted placemats, coasters or box lid from sticking together, I recommend using a soft rag to apply a coat of wax (after varnishing) on both sides. Then buff out to a soft finish. NOTE: Use a hard non-yellowing paste wax (NOT floor wax) This wax is often used with chalk paint.
