This is for Peggy's Color Challenge with dessert of "Make it a picnic". I think a picnic at the beach would be great; the look-out point by the lighthouse would be lovely. I've been saving this piece of ribbon that was on a package for just the right card. This one must be it. Red gingham says picnic to me and it is one of the colors. I watercolored the lighthouse image with the three colors and added some speckles on the Sahara Sand portion. Then I made it into a tag, trimmed the end with wavy scissors and looped through a piece of the gingham ribbon at the top & tied it with linen thread. I stamped some sandpiper birds in Sahara Sand along the bottom edge along with some speckles and added gingham ribbon across the card. Left it at that and let the colors do the talking. Fun color combo. Thanks for looking and hope you play along.

Now that is *exactly* where I'd like to have my picnic. Love the location suggestion for our picnic! Very cute, love the tag, the gingham ribbon and the sandpipers, too.

So great! Several things I love like the throwback decorative edge on the tag, using an old stamp set (I mean ancient) and the clean and simple look of the card. I'm on a big lighthouse kick right now, can I come to your beachside picnic?
