This is for Color Challenge 395 - Perfect Plum, Summer Starfruit and Tangerine Tango. I subbed in Crushed Curry for the yellow since that's what I had and I definitely ordered dessert because in my opinion there is no color combo that Pool Party won't make even better! Besides my neutral browns, I did use Island Indigo for the sentiment. Just could not help myself, it was the best color for the job! My main flower center and the sentiment are both embossed, hard to see in this somewhat unfocused picture. I find any color challenge that includes a bright orange really hard, but I managed to embrace it (my Tangerine Tango spot was happy to get used for the first time) and ended up with certainly the most brightly colored card I've made to date. Thanks for looking!

Fabulous card! The colors look great together with those pretty flowers. I too struggle with bright orange, I think I've only used it once or twice. But your card looks fantastic!

I was just reading the thread you started about sets you "hate" :D. You may have struggled with those flowers, but they make a lovely loose frame for the sentiment panel. I hope that now you've broken the block that you'll find more creative ideas to come up with for this set.

You certainly nailed this challenge beautifully!! I agree about Pool Party - it's a welcome guest to pretty much any color party. Love the texture on your card!
