I am working reeeeeaaaaaal hard trying to at least LIKE this starfruit color.....the jury is still out on it. However, Bravo Burgandy is my least favorite color in the entire SU pallet....so I had to accentuate the regal rose and the starfruit.....so I could downplay the burgandy.....who knew that regal rose pointsettia's could be shaded so sweetly with a touch of the Bravo Burgandy....I actually have my own nickname for this color, but it's not fit to be put in print.......bwahahahahaha.......it's really brown, not burgandy.....anyway,,,,I am pretty okay with this card, and the starfruit, it's actually GROWING on me.....Happy stamping everyone and happy Tuesday......OH, and I am waiting for the right colors to honor our new baby girl twin with a card in her honor.....I need some baby colors......

Karen, this is absolutely gorgeous! I too am not in love with starfruit. To me it looks like yellow that got dirty. I'm trying to use it also. I can spot your cards in the gallery in an instant. You have a style all of your own.

Gorgeous, Karen! Yes, the starfruit color needs to be used with other colors that make it less a star or fruity. Not sure of the exact formula yet. However, I do believe this color combo has some definitely possibilities as you have so beautifully shown here!

Wow, you totally rocked these colors, Karen! I'm not a fan of summer starfruit either...it reminds me of...uhh...babies who are breastfed...you get the picture. :-(
