Summer of Colour- Hot Pink & Orange

Hi
The challenge colours for Week Two of the Summer of Colour Challenge are Hot Pink & Orange - a super zingy combination !!

So my first entry for this week is a page in my Journal - I have had this stamp set quite a while - can't recall which designer it is from - but I have nicknamed him the Quirky Bird and he always makes my smile !

I think sometimes I am a pretty Quirky Bird myself - so today's Journal page is celebrating that with a little poem I wrote & my "makes me happy" Quirky Bird on a background of Dylusions pink & orange inks.
I have been rather down of late so making a happy page has been good for my spirits !

I was drifting round the garden last night, checking my plants (and having an encouraging word with them !!) - when I realised I had those very colours out there.

So early this morning - before the forecasted deluge arrived here in West Wales - I had a quick dash round the garden with my camera - and here's this weeks very colours in full bloom (or leaf in the case of the Heucheras !!)

Looking forward to seeing everyones interpretation of this weeks colours !

    Both the page as well as your garden mosaic make me smile... it is indeed a good color-combo to work with when you're feeling a bit down...

    Pink and orange only need a little purple to reach perfection!
