I rarely use orange, so I took Wendy challenge today and used it for this card. I added some brown and yellow.
I cut/embossed the scalloped oval in the card front and stamped the image on a white insert on the inside to show through. I really like this owl silhouette. The swirly thingy is stamped on the lower right corner just for fun. The sentiment is stamped onto the white oval and I dotted with the a So Saffron marker to bring that color in, as well as adding the layered ribbons with strips of brown cardstock to border the ribbons.
I hope you like it.

How great this looks with the owl stamped inside! I'm not a fan of orange either, KAren, but with the brown it's great! TFS!
