I really liked Roberta's colors for the CC. Using just one reinker and an aqua brush, so many values of that color can be achieved very easily. That's how I colored the peony image for the focal point. Used today's sketch for the layout...leaving off the three little doo-dads on the left of the sketch nor framing the sentiment banner.
