This is sooo out of place in my gallery that it looks like someone elses card wandered in and decided to stay. I rarely use die cuts and i always use every color in the entire box of crayons. Black, red, and white????? This is so not me. I loved Sabrina's paper towel bg idea and wanted to try it, but an entire sink of dirty dishes was calling my name. But, the other good thing about this anti-Francie card is that it took less than 5 minutes to make. I can still get the dishes done, go to bed at a semi descent time, and not look like the bride of Frankenstein at work tomorrow. TFL, Francie

It may only be two colours, Francie, but red, white and black is the classiest colour combination I know. And since you already had a date in the kitchen :-(, I'm glad you took the kitchen to your card too. You're so great at adding those little extra details, the dotted black accents look super.

What a great looking card using these classic colors! I love how you added the fine black dots on the white portion of your card; very ying-yang effect! Beautiful design!

Francie is this really you or have you been SCS hacked????? I love this to bits, and I'm not just saying that because you might have been kidnapped by the colour police.

Oh, Francie! What a gorgeous black, white, and red card!!! I love that you used black ink on the towel, and the addition of the beautiful red floral arrangement with gorgeous pearls is fantastic. Yes, I too was surprised when I saw your name with this card only because it is not your typical style. However, because you are such a remarkable artist, I am not surprised that you could make a paper towel card look so beautiful! Great work, Francie!!

It may NOT be you, but it's my favorite combo of colors! Especially the RED, just in case you forgot. I love the simple spray of flowers and the black on the paper towel is so unexpected!!

Love that bg - I may have to try this too. The bright red flowers are perfect against it. It does stand out in your gallery but it is wonderful! Great card, Francie!!!
