I am working reeeeeaaaaaal hard trying to at least LIKE this starfruit color.....the jury is still out on it. However, Bravo Burgandy is my least favorite color in the entire SU pallet....so I had to accentuate the regal rose and the starfruit.....so I could downplay the burgandy.....who knew that regal rose pointsettia's could be shaded so sweetly with a touch of the Bravo Burgandy....I actually have my own nickname for this color, but it's not fit to be put in print.......bwahahahahaha.......it's really brown, not burgandy.....anyway,,,,I am pretty okay with this card, and the starfruit, it's actually GROWING on me.....Happy stamping everyone and happy Tuesday......OH, and I am waiting for the right colors to honor our new baby girl twin with a card in her honor.....I need some baby colors......

Ha! Karen, we both made Rose and Burgundy poinsettias today. I didn't see this one before I made mine, but we were both obviously on the same page. This is gorgeous!

Your poinsettias are beautiful Karen!! I love how you cut one out and placed it on your ribbon. The sponging in between the flowers is most gorgeous. I'm kind of wondering about this challenge myself, but you have encouraged me. :>)
Gorgeous poinsettias, Karen! I agree with you about bravo burg, but your coloring is just wonderful, as always and you made it work! The surrounding sponging really adds!

This is so beautiful Karen! You always do such a wonderful job of coloring your images. I especially love that you used black as your neutral. It really makes this card POP!
