Crab spider?

[Sorry to blast your eyes with so much pink-and-red!!]
Have submitted this to BugGuide for an ID. I think it will be a crab spider — in the Thomisidae family — but we’ll see… This was lying in wait *underneath* a Knockout Rose petal. I got this shot by lifting up the petal with one hand — OK, using a twig — and shooting with the other hand!
