It's time for a Celebrity Color Challenge (PPA109) at Pals Paper Arts and we have the very talented Iwona Palamountain (AKA "Chupa") joining us at PPA this week (love her style)! This fresh color trio of Calypso Coral, Riding Hood Red, and Basic Gray needed a clean and contemporary layout to showcase this unusual combination! I chose to keep it simple by featuring a single flower in Riding Hood Red to catch your eye! The addition of Daffodil Delight to the flower's center helps draw your eye directly to the floral focal point and adds a little extra zip to the mix! I love it and I hope you do too! Please leave me a comment if you like this week's card or have any questions! I always love hearing from you!

Oh Margaret I love that layered flower and the way you buttoned it up! And as always you are the master of using the white space to showcase the colors !

Great job with the colors. I love how the flag extends past the end of the car.
