Thank you for the challenge is the second week I play with this fabulous blog and I love it I had so much fun playing with this colors.
ReplyDeleteI have linked my card on mr. linky.
Hugs.
Am I too late? I hope not. This was such a wonderful challenge.
ReplyDeleteI linked my card although I think I actually used too much green to technically qualify. I usually don't use much yellow so this was quite a stretch for me and I just wanted to share my result. Thanks!
