Thank You



When I saw the colors for the current CR84FN challenge I knew I'd have to play along. Yellow is my favorite color, with orange being a close second (yep, I like BRIGHT!)




I'm also using Clean & Simple sketch #130. I turned the sketch upside down for my card.




I enjoyed playing with PTI's new button dies for this card. There are so many different stamps that can be used to decorate the buttons, the possibilities are really endless!





I love the pretty, floral Daisy D paper I used here. A friend gave it to me a long time ago, just one sheet, so I was hording it. But I thought it was perfect for the color challenge so onto my card it went :)

Hope today finds you doing well. Thanks so much for stopping by :)
