For today's color challenge: red, purple and blue, I REALLY struggled with this combo! I'm satisfied with what I came up with, but it took some thinking. I stamped the paisleys in black then colored with markers and a blender pen. The black panel is popped up, and I used the bg from the stamp set on the white cs. I also struggled with a sentiment; nothing was working for me, so I just left it out! Have a wonderful week everyone, and thanks for stopping by! ~Roberta

Your paisley's are perfect, Roberta! I struggled with these colors too. I love the border of dots in the background that mimic the dots in the paisley. Fabulous design!

Roberta, I think you came up with a marvelous solution o what to do with these colors. The paisleys seem a natural for them. Really a great looking card. You can always put the sentiment on the inside as dictated by the occasion.

Paisleys are cool Roberta and they definitely work for these colors. I like how you did the bg for just the top half of the card and who needs a sentiment...sometimes the design says it all...which in this case could be just about anything...a very versatile card
