Today's color challenge is another lovely combo - here are my best substitutes for these colors.
It is combined with other challenges, including the fun make believe TeaPot Tuesday Challenge, which today is recognizing the 42,000 posts (oops, not quite the right number - that is the standard TeaPot number) by Faith, Markie's mom. Faith is a stalwart producer of cards for challenges, and commenter on most uploads by participants.
Here is my story:
I am kind of late with this card as we had an unexpected overnight trip.
Actually, it was Speedy who is the cause of all these delays. He is scheduled to attend a Create a Scene workshop hosted by Kitty. Speedy does not want to travel.
I figured I had a perfect way to lure him out of the house and on the road.
As many of you know, DH loves to spend most of the summer fishing. I thought I could use some of his 42,000 fish as "bait". Well, you can see, Speedy took the bait and ate each and every one down to the bone. Judging from the color and glitzy tails, by now these remains are a bit over the hill. Well, Speedy ate so many he is not in any shape to travel. I hope someone has plan B to get him out the door and on the way.

Fun image. I once knit a sweater for my half-brother with a cat on the front and fish skeletons and mice alternating round the edges. Speedy is still a bit thin looking for a cat who has just eaten 42,000 fish .
Happy Birthday, Dorothy - oh, I am just as confused as Kim. Now I check, it's not till the weekend...

Looks like your Speedy would keep a whole boatload of fishermen busy! That's a big ole pile of fish he's consumed! Your card is adorable! Love that image... it's perfect for this weeks party. Great DP and buttons too.

Ohhh this is card is just PRETTY! Nothing sets off fish bones like beautiful pink plaid and shimmery buttons!! I love that sweet kittie image! Speedy looks all innocent after eating up his bait...doesn't he know he NEEDS that to catch BIGGER fish! Super TPT card! And hope YOU are having a Happy Birthday Week!
