Pool party, that is! Thank you, Kim for these vivd
colors today in your first pick as a Color Challenge hostess. I am so excited to have made it.
Before anyone thinks I am a dancer, let me say, I have two left feet and not a hint of rhythm . Here's a 45 second laugh for you. But in spite of it all, I wanted to create an encouraging card for someone who has not pursued her passion for dance in OVER 4 years! Think this will do the trick???
The quote is a Tim Holtz image, 'Dottie' from Art Impressions is dancing to her own drummer, decked out in lime green bloomers, her teal party dress complete with a frilly edged hem. I added red lipstick, ear'BOBS', and red high heeled dancin' shoes. The worn wood floor has stories to tell, if anyone is listening!
Thanks for taking the time to have an Elaine break and leaving your comments...they truly encourage me to keep on dancin' even if it's only in my head!!!

So fun and what a great way to encourage your friend! Love the trim peeping out at the bottom of her dress-it adds to the movement and the wooden floor looks great too!

Your card is fantastic Susan!!! I love Elaine and her beautiful party dress. The lime colored bloomers are awesome!! I can totally relate to the two left feet. I have little to no coordination. :>)
