My least favorite birthstone - Topaz. I was tempted to use blue (blue topaz; the modern stone for November), but decided to stick to the chart since I rarely make any yellow cards.

I always wished that were my birthstone! Or I think sometimes they use citrine (my favorite gemstone!). I’ve always been bored with my pearl birthstone. So, I love this fabulous card :0)

I'm sorry you don't like your birthstone. That's ok......it's my favorite, and my Mom's and DD's.........we all have a thing for sunshine yellow (and RED). Your card is gorgeous!!

well, I could start with your layout...cool, but I do think you made your birthstone shine with that pretty mum (?), with the gemstone in the center. Now that you've got that one in the books...I'd love to see your modern blue topaz take on this F4A.
Isn't it interesting how color affects each one of us? Someone musta studied that, right? I used to be a yellow hater, until &d loved yellow forever!

I do love your pretty yellow card. Yellow being my favourite colour. I have to try hard not to pick up the yellow card, pencils, water colours and concentrate on other colour schemes (he he). Glad to see you have ventured out and created this very pretty card.
Your comment about that being your least favorite birthstone reminds me of my daughter. She was born on November 30th and when she was a teenager she asked me why I couldn't have waited 4 hours and 23 minutes so she could have a pretty birthstone instead of that ugly topaz. I told her she was already 16 days past her due date, I was in labor less than two hours, and in the hospital a mere 8 minutes before she was born - there was no waiting :-) Yellow is not my favorite color - there are many hues I don't care for at all, but there are a few that I absolutely love. Your card is very, very pretty. I love the yellow flower on the black background. TFS!
