Glitter Glam tote bag!

The Glitter Glam Tote is an entry for the Glitter category of the tote challenge.
The bag is made of a black velvety plush mystery material from a second-hand store find, and a patterned rayon from a blouse found at the same locale. The flower is a pin so that it can be placed anywhere, to achieve maximal glam. The handles are made of webbing in a tube made of lots of scrunched velvet fabric, which is further adorned by the addition of tastefully placed shiny silver and white beads in a trio of sizes. The interior is made of the blue and white fabric, and includes a white ribbon with a clasp, so you can find those keys or anything else you might attach--a zippered pouch, perhaps?
The description above includes the best reasons this bag should win in its glittery, glamorous category. Doesn't everyone need a tote with a rose?

Play Ball: This category celebrates the most inspired use of yarn. Be it by stitch, loop or some other daring technique, show us just how far some skeins of yarn can go when put to the challenge.
All That Glitters: You'll have to get your bling on for this category, for we are looking for the most spellbinding use of embellishment. Think: eye-catching, head turning, and Va Va Voom WOW!
Eco-Chic: If you are an ardent recycler or a master of innovation (or both) this category is for you. Make a tote bag out of the brilliant use of recycled, or unconventional materials.
The Omni-Crafter Special: If you are the lucky challenge hopeful who simply can't decide which one of your crafty passions to employ, try all of them. This category challenges you to make artful use of as many DIY talents you can get into the making of one awesome tote.
