I made a card last night using a color I do not usually gravitate toward, since I wanted to push myself a bit out of my comfort zone. I used yellow! It's not that I don't like it exactly, it is just that it is a color that does not look good on me and can oftentimes be too overpowering. I tend to like 'clean' colors as opposed to 'dusty', and jewel tones as opposed to warm tones. I do appreciate, however, yellow mixed with pink, navy or with black and white.

The set features a cheerful lemon yellow
base color on the outside of the cup and saucer with large bright pink
and burgundy cabbage roses around the inside of the cup. A small mimic
of the pattern is in the center of the saucer. The cup style is the
wide, attractive Avon. It is available at Ruby Lane.
A while ago I shared a couple of my tiny Madame Alexander dolls with you. This little sweetie, called "It's Raining" fits in perfectly with today's color theme, yellow. She is ready for a summer downpour, like the one I experienced when we traveled to Albuquerque two summers ago! Suddenly, we were bombarded by hail and thunder. No worries, this blue-eyed cutie even has matching rain booties and the perfect hat to keep her curly pigtails dry.

Well, I am off to water my pink Hydrangeas and get dinner started. Hope your day was sunny and rosy!
