The challenge color combo was: Smoky Slate, Old Olive and Watermelon Wonder. The Watermelon got me to thinking about, well...watermelon. So I ended up making a watermelon pillow for my little bench. The watermelon is a retired color and I found a little piece of it for the sign, but the watermelon pillow and flowers are Real Red. I even stained the floorboards with both Real Red and Old Olive.
The "bench" is actually the porch swing. I just cut a little strip off the front edge to give it "legs".

Fantastic job on the floor, looks just like a wood floor! The woodgrain makes a great wall! Love the swing and pillows! I want to sit and relax there! Beautiful card!

Somehow I missed your card earlier this week. I don't know how, because it is so charming! All the wood texture, the pattern paper dsigns and pretty ribbon make such a lovely scene. And your wood floor looks amazing! Love this!
