Color Throwdown #572

Good Morning- Happy, Happy Wednesday!! Hope you're having a great day!!

It's time for another set of colors at the Color Throwdown!! This week the colors were chosen by Barbaral!!

This week we're playing with turquoise/aqua, green, gold, and white!!

YIKES.... yes, Christmas is coming!! Isn't that cupcake scrumptious!!!

This week I went a little graphic... have a birthday coming up and this may work!?!? Love the graphic background on this card... but, the "YAY" should be in different colors and the sentiment redone... yes, I am critiquing myself!!

I have to be honest.... I have been crazy busy. Missed last week due to a granddaughter with asthma and the "nurse" had to help!! Then, the crowds descended (12) for several days. I am also dealing with a "bum knee" which has been going on for several months (actually a couple years) and has gotten to the point where I can hardly walk. Working through all the options until knee replacement... don't mean to be complaining, just stating facts.
