Hi there! Welcome to an all new CR84FN Color Challenge! Many thanks to those who join in the fun and thanks to all of those who leave such sweet comments :) For the next TWO weeks, we will be playing with the pretty color combo shown below:

I made this card for a dear friend who will be celebrating her birthday shortly.

A bit on the CAS side don't you think? I'm a sucker for butterflies, doilies and pretty patterned paper! Is it obvious?
