Happy St. Patrick's Day

It's rare that I make two posts in one day but I saw this design while out doing a cruise about on the Internet.  I don't remember where I saw it or the person who's card I viewed but I do appreciate the inspiration.  It's definitely a study in green with a touch of gold and cream.  The heart die-cuts make for a great looking shamrock.  Since today is St. Patrick's Day, two designs just might be a lucky thing.  :-)

Pot of Gold

It was so much fun to make this card for the current Friday Mashup Challenge.  I love rainbows.  They are bright and cheerful and they hold a promise of calm skies ahead.  I always remember the colors of the rainbow by remembering ROY G BIV.  Wearin' o' the green has always presented a dilemma for me.  Green is not a color I particularly like unless it is on a tree and I certainly didn't like getting a pinch when I was seen not wearing green on March 17th.  But, as I would point out to the one pinching me, I am wearing green and I wear green every day of my life!  Have you figured out why I always have green on?  Yup, you guessed it.  I have green eyes!  So, should you see me tomorrow, be sure to look me in the "green" eyes before you pinch me!  :-)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
