scan makes it a bit darker. the brown i used is close to cocoa but the scan makes it look like chocolate chip. the main image didn't scan well either. oh well!

BH Thread - I think there's too much distressed paper. Maybe replace the stapled on paper with twill tape. Not sure about that green color, but it could just be the scan.

Honesty thread: If it is celery and choc chip I bet it looks fab because that's my new fave combo! I don't think the scan does this justice. Maybe the girl should be stamped in a darker colour to make her stand out more? I agree there's a bit too much crinkling (for my taste), and would perhaps half the width of the cocoa layer and just have it under the left half of the main image. But that's just me.

Brutally Honest..... I think it is just your scanner that is the problem. I like the card and can imagine it with the soft colors (as others have said it is coming in as Green Galore & Chocolate Chip).

Honesty thread... WOW the scan really does distort the colors I love the combo of greens and browns so I am sure IRL this rocks. The one suggestion is maybe a little less distressing and maybe a border (brown?) around the tags, they tend to blend in with the background.
