When scanned, the background shows as a lovely violet. Pretty, but not true to life. I am in love with this color right now. And yellow. And flowers. I woke up with the idea of an intense background, set off with bright yellow buds.

I suppose I should have added some leaves, they are as pretty as the flowers. Well, next time.

Hope you are staying cool, in your neck of the woods!

Hi Sheila,
I love this! No matter whether the colors are realistic or not – the yellow and purple combination is wonderful!

Love it, Sheila! I agree that leaves may have spoiled it!

  Guess it is a good thing I did not think of leaves until after I was done, thanks Kat!

  Count yourself lucky Cindy. It was muggy here today, and grey, but hot! They are saying we have a 50% chance of rain, but we are usually not that fortunate. But I guess I shouldn’t complain, our hot weather started later than usual. Thanks for reading my posts Cindy 🙂

great color combinations! I think more green would have spoiled the effect.

You’re right. A lovely combination. I’ve got a yellow thing going on right now too. Must be the sunshine.
