Okay ... I was soooo stumped for today's challenge (F4A19 - Gold Star). I knew I wanted to do something summery with cute little watermelons, but I had a HECK of a time incorporating a STAR and some GOLD (and as it is, I kinda cheated since my "gold" is actually "yellow"). Sheesh!! I kept walking away and coming back - walking away and coming back!! FINALLY I finished!!
Thanks for lookin'!

Yellow or gold...any way you look at it, it's still an incredibly cute card! Love the slices of watermelon and the colors, especially the pop of black!

This card screams SUMMER! I love those little watermelon wedges! I had to LOL about you walking away and coming back. I still have challenge colors on my stamping table from earlier this week.
