Spilling too much orange was a good idea--this card is beautiful! I love love love everything about it! Great stamps and the sentiment is perfect! Great job! :)
Just the right amount of orange on this card, Sue! Love this!
Love this, Suzz! The poppies are gorgeous.. they remind me of the poppy fields when I was growing up in CA!
I love this hero arts stamp, and reckon this card still qualifies as having a splash of orange. It's so beautiful :)
Beautiful interpretation of the color splash challenge, Suzz!

This is gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing your methods - love the effect you got with the black embossing and sponging of the orange on top. Beautiful and elegant!
I like how you framed your image with the ribbons. Fun color combo.
Lovely card, very well balanced and such a nice sentiment!
Great take on the challenge Sue. Orange is a colour I rarely use but this is so effective. I particularly like the houndstooth background.
