Okay, which spectrum pad would you get (only want to get one since I have the late november as well).....

Celebration

OR

Fiesta

Thanks for your help!

The Celebration pad coordinates wonderfully with the Rainbow Organdy ribbon! It's also great if you happen to use a lot of Bold Brights papers like Green Galore, Pink Passion or Brilliant Blue.

I'll admit, the Fiesta pad has been on my 'wish' list, since it looks like a good one for Real Red or YoYo Yellow works! Have fun choosing!~TexasGrammy

I have feista- which I love. But when my Mom got celebration I think I liked hers better. So I gotta go with celebration.

I vote for celebration as well, it is my favorite spectrum pad!

Celebration....

Go for Celebration! I love mine!

Celebration for sure! I don't have that one. Fiesta is nice to use but I guess you always want what you don't have.

i got both
 

I got both..i couldn't decide!! I'm really bad about making decisions!

Fiesta! I wasn't sure I'd like it, but now that I have it, I love it! It's a great combo of colors. I also like Taffy, but those colors are really, really subtle, which is good for somethings. But when you want a bold splash of color, Fiesta is awesome! Its colors are Summer Sun, Real Red, Marvelous Magenta, Ballet Blue, Taken with Teal. They really are a nice combination.

Here's a sample card I made using the Fiesta pad:

ohhh, you girls are making this difficult. Everyone was saying celebration so I was thinking, okay, celebration. now some are saying fiesta too! Oh my, what am i going to do. I can always get one and have my hubby get the other one for christmas or our anniversary. hmmmm.........

pick one that matches the papers you use most
 

I have the celebration and love it. But I use bold brights alot. I think the starter kits have the Fiesta as the standard pad. Surprising, but I love using those colors too.

I'd have to say I think most people would find the celebration pad as the one they grab the most. I use it on birthday cards all the time. It's bright and cheerful and makes me smile when I use it. :D

I "splurged". I have 3 different spetrum pads.

I have bought them based on the colours of the cardstock I use most and all those ideas I had stored up in my imagination.

blue frost - the winter themed things, love the blues
pumpkin patch - the autumn themed items, I can smell the pie coming on when I use this one
fiesta - because I love the summer sun yellow, and the real red, oh, and the ballet blue, and the taken with teal ...

(I'm sooo decisive about what I want and like.) :lol: :lol:

I have both celebration and fiesta. Celebration is terrific when you want something to look tied-dyed. I love to use the fiesta as a backdrop to scenery cards. the yellow and red blend together is form a sunset effect and the greens and blues look like water. I blend this together on glossy paper and then stamp mountains across the top third of the card and pine trees around the bottom two thirds edges. It appears to be a mountain lake at sunset. It makes a gorgeous card for a man. I know this doesn't help you decided. I'd just get both sets!

This is really embarrassing :oops:! I went up to check out my spectrum pads because I couldn't be for sure which one was which (I am not a demo, so I am not as familar with the names of everything!) I have both celebration and fiesta, and even though I already voted for celebration, I really use fiesta more! They are both great pads, though! I also have autumn leaves and blue frost and love them both! I don't care for the taffy and am going to buy an uninked pad and make my own baby colored one some day!

well, i think I am going to have to get one and have hubby get the other one for our anniversary. i just can't decide! Both have some great advantages that you guys have pointed out. thank you for that!
