Thursday Trending: Orange

Maybe it has something to do with fall?  Maybe it is because I lurve pumpkins?  Maybe it is because it can be a color for girls or a color for boys? 

Whatever the reason, I love orange...it is bright and cheery.

I might love it this month because it was a part of the Crate Paper November Color Challenge palette...

I had to join in the challenge since the color combo is fabulous...pink, orange and sapphire blue...

my interpretation!

I have to say that I can't get enough of the Random collection...the colors and patterns.  I think they are out of this world!  Again, this collection makes great layouts for boys and great layouts for girls!  The orange strip on this paper is subtle, yet has so much texture.  I placed another, bolder orange on top to give it some pop! 

I went with a bit of whimsy on this one and decided to use the blue frame as a journaling box!

I didn't win the challenge...but I ended up with a layout I wouldn't have made otherwise...even though I adore orange!

What color are you loving right now?
