Hello friends! I thought it was summer here in Southern CA; but I was wrong. It is colder today and rain. We need the rain; so I am not complaining. I like the cooler weather anyway. LOL!
I created this card using Aurora Wings "Orchids In The Rain". The challenge is to create using mostly black and white or with just a touch of color. That is so hard for me. I am big on lots of colors. I really wanted to color all the flowers; but thought that was probably more than what was allowed. LOL!

Perfect editing on the added color, Gloria! This is truly stunning! Love how you've colored her hair boldly enough to stand up to the intricate scroll work and patterned DP.
