AHHH! New stuff!! I got a new stamp from Rosie's Roadshow that was just perfect for a fun occasion. My best friend in the world, Mary, is retiring this month. Her favorite color is ORANGE! She is absolutely the ONLY person I know who loves it!! Most of her wardrobe is orange, her curtains, towels, sheets... you get the picture.
This funny gal in her bathrobe and bunny slippers will make her laugh, and so will the sentiment inside,
"Retirement means you can do nothing all day, then rest afterwards." (River City Rubber Works) The gems in orange are new too. Who else would I use them for?????
Mom is arriving for a few days, so comments will be few and far between, but playing won't!

This is too cute, Anne! Your friend is going to love it! Fun image (and sentiment) and great accents! I love the orange gems! I used some yesterday and had no idea why I would have purchased them, but they worked!

OMG, your friend is going to love this ORANGE everything. What a cute image and the sentiment is the best. You did BIG on this card even if you couldn't break out the red.

I was going to say I loved how you'd patterned the robe to match the DP - but of course you pieced it. Duhhh.
Orange - hmm, I like it - but only in moderation. Isn't it great that variety is the spice of life.
