Is there a place on SCS that I could type in orange cards and get card samples shown made of things using orange in their cards? Please help me if you can, I have a friend and her favorite color is orange and I am having a very hard time of thinking of cards to make. Thanks, I'd love to hear from anyone with an idea or two for me.
I love working with orange, and have a ton of orange cards in my gallery!

My son's favorite color is orange, I have posted this other places but in short he has worn the color orange on his body every day for over 5 years. His sheets are even orange. When I make him a card I make it like any other card I just use only orange or pumpkin pie and accent it with complimentary colors. The color coach is a great help with that. He always tells me he loves it. It may not appeal to you but your friend will love that you planned your creation with her favorite color in mind.
If she likes orange, make her not only an orange card but maybe even a summery orange card with oranges. There are some cute orange (fruit) stamps out there! It's fun when you actually have a reason to make a certain card (like your friend's love of orange)! I have an orange card in my gallery (anniversary card) that I made for my sister and brother in law. I don't know I might even have more in there......????
You can also do a search for the shade of orange you'd like to see - instead of searching for "orange" (which would likely pull up cards that use only orange) try searching for "pumpkin" to get cards that used our pumpkin pie color. If people listed their cardstock & ink choices, you should get good results with that...
did you know that the Godfather movies, particularly the first one, featured the color orange or actual oranges, in almost every scene? Just a little orange trivia...

I went to the gallery and typed in "only orange" in the search box to bring up cards using that particular color. 1,990 examples popped up - some using more orange than others - but many gorgeous cards. Here is one of my favorite flip flop cards:
