This was one of those challenges where I started off thinking one thing, and ended up with something completely different! I got out "Green Thumb" by Papertrey Ink, and full intended to do a ladybug and lots of pink and purple...but ended up seeing the stripes on the watering can (which reminded me of the bottom of the coat) and just kept adding bright colors and then lots of dots! Made the polka dotted background using one of the "flowers" from the set and Guide Lines 1 grid paper, also from PTI.
I have had the Rochester Winter Blues lately, usually it hits later! I thought I needed some bright colors in my life...and might be needing some Vitamin D from the local CVS, toooo!

I like where your inspiration led you. I often think that cards that take on a life of their own can turn out the best, because we're following our muse instead of trying to put it into where we've decided it should go.
