I started this panel for a card last week but the sky got too dark for my taste and I set it aside. But, that dark sky is a perfect backdrop for sparkling sequins, like stars in a colorful sky. So I mounted the panel, made a greeting, sprinkled the sequins and here it is. Also, note that this card uses all of the new InColors on one card. That's always a goal for me each year when the new IC's come out.
Thanks for viewing and commenting.

This is so pretty Kathy!! I love the ferns and the dark colors. That is usually the way you find ferns in nature. You're right, the dark sky is the perfect place for sequins. :>)

Very stunning color combination and adding the sequins added just the right contract to brighten up the darkness at the top. Thank you for making 2 cards for my challenge!
