This card has to be the longest it has EVER taken me to make a card. Joan, I HATE orange!! I don't have a lot of orange "stuff" in my collection of tools. I don't have ribbon...I wanted to put some ribbon on this, I don't have a lot of orange DP. I have a lot of pumpkin pie CS, but mostly to go w/ fall colors and only as an accent color. So, to make a card with mostly orange was a struggle.
This card is for Joan Ervin's and MelMel's Dare to get Dirty challenges. I wanted to do more cards tonight, but I think I have expired my creativity for the night!

From one orange hater to another, I totally understand, I can't stand that color either!! I dread Halloween because of all the orange. I must admit I am softening my thoughts on orange somewhat because my grandchildren look very cute in it and love to wear it! Just don't put any on me or in my home!! Orange UGH!! You did an awesome job!! Pretty card, beautiful rose! Please check out the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge by clicking on the link below my signature.
