I'm trying my hand at tangerine tango today. Haven't used it yet. It's been sitting there staring at me to use it, but it's not my favorite color. With white, I do think it looks pretty.
This is for a friend at church who recently had surgery. Hope she likes "orange"!!!
I spent more time trying to photograph it than I did making it. Even tried some outside shots. Going to have to practice more. Can never get the lighting right especially with a lot of white as it washes out.
This past couple days I've really been working outside my box and it's been difficult at times, but also fun! No pain, no gain!
Anyway, thanks so much for taking the time to look and if you have a quick moment, let me know what you think.

This is terrific. I like orange but this color has had to grow on me. I think it looks great with Pinks. This is one of my favorite new sets. I really like that you are going outside your box. It is working. You even decorated the inside. Super job.

Pam this is a wonderful card she will love it!!! I do love this tango with white, I really like this color combo a lot....Your added row of bling!!! LOVE IT!!! All the deets on this are awesome!! tfs!
OMG!!! Pam, this is completely spectacular! Shades of orange and I are not friends...but cards like this make me want to make amends! This is really wonderful! You outdid yourself :O)
Oh, and I know what you mean about taking longer to get the right photograph than it takes to make the card! I have been there several times. I think I have it figured out (well enough anyway) now. This set is great! I've seen so many stunning cards with it (this is no exception), so I bought it. Now I just have to put it to use!!

Pam this is Beautiful!!!!! I love the stamps you've used (he he) and the gratuitous use of bling!!! I'm not fond of orange, but if you ask me, any colour with white will look spectacular and paired with that awesome edge punch this is absolutely amazing!!!! Fabulous job my friend!!!!

Well Pam, must say I had this in my faves before I even scrolled down far enough to see who created it... I too struggle with orange and I love how you used it with this set, which is one of my new fave sets (other than it's double-mounted issues)... You're doing very well outside your box girl - likely because you took your punches with you when you ventured out! Your friend is gonna love this whether she's a fan of orange or not...
