MFP Tutorial Challenge #122

This was a fun, fun challenge! I can see me using this a lot in the future!!  I used gold paper to cut the stars out of and some red circles from a repurposed string of tree trimming. The red velvet ribbon was from my (enormous) stash of ribbon.  :-)   The stamp is from Craftsmart.

I found this piece of rust- colored paper in my stash and matched it up with a blue and green scrap I found.  It was interesting using all three colors together. That's whatI love about color challenges - it makes us think outside the box!
