Being at home is rather nice though and I was able to get the time to participate in another PTI anniversary challenge! Today, we were given the sketch and assigned a color combination based on our forum username.
Orange is not a standby color for me, so this was definitely a challenge. I tried several things and ended up with this. I actually really dislike it, but at least it's done!
The card uses several background patterns from Background Basics: Retro. I added little touches with my white gel pen to add uniformity to the card. The sentiment is from Scattered Showers.
Hope you are having a nice day!

Its fun to stretch the bounds a little though! :) I love the touch of white that you added with the gel pen!
I think it turned out super cute!! :)
Great card! I love all of the patterns together.
We had the toughest colour combo I think Melissa! I think you're being a bit hard on yourself actually, your card turned out fine!! Really like that dotted strip!!
This was a tough color combo but you did a wonderful job!
*gasp* Not like orange??? Melissa what are you trying to do to me? *grin*
I do think the color combo you had was a challenge, but the ripe avocado on your card really pulls the other colors together.
Glad you made it out of the house!
I love those colors! I think you should try again. You might end up liking it.
BTW I hate snow. I hate my house. I am going CRAZY.
