Color Challenge: A hint of spring

Hi and welcome to this month’s Color Challenge. It’s March and the days are getting longer, with some days even having a hint of warmth where I am in Scotland.
I took this as my inspiration, deciding to look ahead with optimism to the budding flowers and signs of new life in the countryside. Before I know it there’ll be lambs in the fields and early blossoms on the trees. 

The blossom photo is by Filip Baotić on Unsplash. I can see this palette being used for outdoor pages, parks, gardens and hikes. It would also work well with water-themed pages or scrapping those fun moments of childhood.

Members of the creative team were only too happy to join in with pages.
