Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #19





Hello again everyone!

I didn't manage to post anything over the weekend. But I did see that Dawn McVey posted another Raspberry Suite Color Challenge. 5 colors? That spells challenge to me, definitely. What do you do with 5 colors? Do you pick one or two as main colors and then use "splashes" of the other ones? I would be curious what your "strategy" is.  

Since I felt "challenged", I ended up with two cards. I asked James to pick one. Tricky situation, because he would have had to actually say that he likes one card more than another. He! :-)
Since we had different "favorite", I'll post them both.
