I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love the colors in this card! When I started out, I was using primary colors, but there was a piece of the Hello , Irresistible Designer Paper sitting on my desk and I thought “hmmmm, wonder what that would look like?” Turns out, it looks great and I fell in love with the soft coral colors!
