Jeanne is our hostess in the Color Challege this week, and she has given us some summer-y colors with the dessert option of "summer's last hurrah." The colors are Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, and Daffodil Delight.
I've been itching to use this wreath builder set for weeks. To be honest, there's a bit of learning curve, and I still haven't mastered it, but I'm getting there.
I heard some sad news this week; an acquaintance who has moved away was just diagnosed with ALS. She's going to need all the love and encouragement she can get, so many of my cards for the foreseeable future, including this one, will be going to her.
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!

What a beautiful wreath card this is with a wonderful sentiment! I love the arrangement and how you have used this week's colors in this wonderful wreath. How kind of you to make this card for someone who was recently diagnosed with a devastating illness; she will so appreciate this and any and all future cards you make for her too! ~Karen.

Very pretty card. If there is a learning curve you seem to have mastered it - the wreath came out beautifully! I'm sorry to hear about your friend; I am certain she will love this card.

Looks like you mastered the learning curve, my friend, your wreath is so beautiful! You used the colors perfectly and I have no doubt your friend will appreciate this card. So sorry that she has received this devastating diagnosis, it is truly heartbreaking. Sending her frequent words of encouragement will be so wonderful for her.

I think your card has turned out spectacularly Barbara!! I really don't see what else needs to be mastered on this. I like how there is a bit of black to make this pop!! I'm sorry to hear about your friend. She will really appreciate your card.
