If Friends Were Flowers

Oh Play Date Cafe, it's been too long.  I've been watching the Play Date Cafe blog but just haven't had a chance to play along.  This week, however, I was determined to create a card using the chosen colors: purple, a lime like shade of green and grey.  What a color combo!  I wanted to do something edgy and punk that screamed ROCK ON!!!  Sadly, though,  I am so far from edgy and punk; even in my younger days I was more grunge.  I have to say, I'm happy with this sweet little card.  I've had some pretty good friends and some pretty great ones!  I love the way these colors worked together.  Thank you Sarah Anderson for such beautiful colors!  I hope everyone has a good week, and thank you for stopping by.
