A Colorful Challenge from OWH S&S

First, let me just say, the yellow saying and butterflies are not that yellow IRL and do blend into the card nicely! I get so frustrated sometimes with the photographs but I do not know how to correct it so it its balanced correctly- oh well! I did do most of this card last night - what a fun day! I finished it up this morning and am popping it up here. This is for the color challenge at OWH Stars and Stamps. Just look at those beautiful tulips! And yes I realize the colors in the photo are more primary however, as an artist (and I laugh when I say that!), I am taking creative license because this is what it inspired in me. And you may have guessed, primary colors are not what I tend toward!
Have a wonderful day!

The colors looked beautiful on my computer - very soft, which I think makes the card very attractive. Blessings, Louise

it is pretty even if the colors aren't shown the way the should:) I find shooting against white helps because I can click white balence n paintshop and fix my levels and colors.
