Good afternoon friends!! It's been a lovely lazy kind of Sunday... the kind you can only get when you have a Monday holiday :) We've had one family Thanksgiving dinner down, and one to go :) Good thing I love turkey :) Today's card is for Stacy's Curtain Call Colour Challenge. When I first saw the colours, I saw this black polka dotted paper on top of the saffron in my head. I tried a variety of ribbons, but nothing looked right, so opted for some twine and a wood button :) Bling didn't even suit this card...trust me, I tried!! LOL So 2 more buttons to match the colour scheme. Hmmm...I really love this one :) Hope your day is fabulous...thanks for popping by :) oh....p.s. Did you notice the new banner? My buddy, Amy, gave me the banner change itch and I was getting lost with images until I remembered that I have the Stampin' Up! Digital Studio!! I have never played around with it and did this morning....really need to get better at it and will slowly change the blog header...but it's fun!!
