Happy Birthday!

I'm so glad I started playing with the ColourQ challenge a few weeks ago.  The colors are always fantastic.   This week's colors called out to do a halloween card, but I wanted to try something different.  It's been a while since I've used the PTI set for the floral images so off I went.  Happy with the way it turned out.  I always seem to be happier when I make CAS cards.  What about you?  What's your favorite "go to" style?

Really like the sentiment on the side. Thanks for turning me on to the Color Q site....spent a little too much time surfin' over there and now my day is off to a late start (well worth it!).
Forgot to mention in the post below that I love your family pic with the sky-line behind it. Oh, I long to go to Chicago with my BF (we used to go a lot before kids).

I never thought I could like orange so much, but this card is perfectly perfect! I love the twine, the way you turned the sentiment, and the different shades for the stamping. So glad to see you playing the ColourQ again this week!

Wonderful That set worked great for this card and color combo. The CAS design is perfect. I tend to struggle with CAS but I do like the look.
