It's time for a new Color Challenge (PPA132) at Pals Paper Arts again! Our color combo for this challenge is the Springtime trio of Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, and Chocolate Chip! When I see these three colors together, I'm reminded of chocolate bunnies or Easter eggs decorated with dainty sugar flowers!
I have no chocolate bunnies or eggs to offer today, but my Easter-themed tote looks as if it's made of chocolate! It's embellished with sweet pink flowers to herald the arrival of Spring and/or Easter and it easily holds five to six plastic eggs or other assorted treats! Adapt it for any occasion by simply changing out the sentiment! I like the way it turned out! Please let me know what you think by leaving a comment below!

So cute and definitely adorable. I think you should be wrapped with the way it turned out. I love the edgelits on the handles. The small details make it work so well. Is there a tutorial for this piece of cuteness???

Cute, cute, cute! This one is all over Pinterest and I had pinned it even before I visited here!
