This is for the ways to use it challenge today which is to use your birthstone or birth flower. I am a November gal which is topaz. I can't say that I am a particular fan of my flower or stone but it is a pretty cool challenge. I enjoyed creating this collage card with this color combo of yellow and gray which is on trend now. Years ago I would have never put those 2 colors together lol.

Love your postcard collage. I know what you mean about yellow and gray. But when I found some yellow/gray plaid paper, I was really impressed with the combo. Your card is beautiful!

Janette, this color combo is really trendy right now. Many baby rooms are being done in these colors. It is very pleasing to the eye, as is your awesome card. Thanks for playing in the challenge.

Your flower is the mum.....and how gorgeous mums are in the Fall. I love the soft topaz color you used for the bg of this pretty card, Janette.

Fabulous collage card, Janette! I, too, would never have thought of this color combination, but find myself liking it more and more, especially on beautiful cards like this! Hugs!
