Grateful

Orange is not my favourite colour and it's not easy for me to use on my cards, but there are a number of challenges with this colour scheme, so I thought I'd give it a go.

    I am late to see this and comment but since this wonderful stamp has baffled me creatively, I feel compelled to say how very beautiful this design is! Okay...this makes me want to try, one more time, to play and hopefully 'conquer' this stamp! TFS ♥
