Colour Challenge #56 at the Play Date Café

When I saw the challenge I wanted to give up right there. Red, Olive and Turquoise? No way! While doing housework and creating a wreath for Christmas an idea crept into my head, this is the result:


I just hope *Mother Nature* will forgive me the freedom of inserting a button as a center kiss into my poinsettia :)

The olive BG paper is embossed with one of the Tim Holtz fades, the image is Graphics45 (What else ... aargh) the poinsettia an older Bosskut die which I also embossed with clear powder.

Thanks Julie at the Play Date Café!
