I LOVE THIS COLOR COMBO FOR BOLD FLOWERS - I hope you do too!! The mango and flamingo blends are a beautiful blend!! And I adore this stamp set too!! FOR MY DESSERT I chose WINK OF STELLA which looks way prettier IRL!! While visiting my close friend Gloria on the other side of Ohio a couple of weekends ago her dahlias were just starting to bloom and that sparked my thoughts to use this set next time I was hostess! Hope you all have fun with these colors and join us for the color challenge this week!! Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Your dahlias are beautiful, Karen! I love the way they're arranged and the coloring. And I adore the greeting; what a sweet message to send to a friend! Congrats on earning the Western Caribbean cruise!

Colors - check.
Gingham - check.
Stamp set - check.
Dots - check.
Dahlia in the corner - check!
I was even ready to use the very same jewels until I changed my mind at the last minute... Are you sure you aren't just around the corner in MN???
Oh, what happy looking dahlias you've created! The way you've blended the colors just sings happiness so your greeting is absolutely perfect - as is the rest of the card. Thanks for the wonderful color combination.

Karen - you now know my secret - I’m easily confused!! Sorry about switching you and LeAnn. At lease I got the colors right! Your dahlias are gorgeous in these colors and that black and white ribbon is just the perfect accent. Beautiful card!

Your coloring is spectacular and I love your splatters, but my favorite part is your tailor made tag and the decorative edging along the bottom! Your ribbon choice is perfect, too!
