The wonderful thing about doing these weekly challenges at the Play Date Cafe is that it pushes me to work with colors that I might not otherwise have chosen.

In fact, all that keeps running through my head is the voice of Lionel Richie singing “We’re going to party…. fiesta, forever” 😀

Thanks again, Play Date Cafe, for helping me push the envelope in color selection.

It appears that an old dog can learn new tricks! 😉
