This is the card I made as a sample for SCS Color Combinations #258: Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, and Soft Suede. When I first got the colors I had no idea what to do. But since the twist was to use a critter of some kind, that got me thinking. These colors said "elegance" to me, so either a bird or a butterfly was my thinking. I love the shape of this Inkadinkado butterfly so I pulled him out and stared at him. Plum, huh? OK, now to go through patterned paper to see what I had that would work. I found this MME paper that I'd gotten at Michaels a while back just 'cause it was purty Glad I did.

Up until this point, I haven't been a big plum lover. Seeing your card and Betty's has caused me to change my mind. I love this combination. You made a gorgeous card!!
