The Summer of Color 5: Week Three. . .

"All the other colors are just colors, but purple seems to have a soul - when you look at it, 

it's looking back at you."

- Uniek Swain

And Colorful It Was!
Pinks & orange, Pinks & orange! It was a virtual circus around here full of bold pops of color and whimsical takes on the rather ruckus palette that was on show last week. Isn't it fun to see the variety that's out there, all based upon the same basic color group? I Lovity-love-love what you did with it, and can't wait to see how you attack the next challenge!

But I Digress:

So are you ready for it?! Yes? Okay, without further adieu, our palette for Week Three of the SOC5 is. . . .

1 Purple + 1 Purple + 1 Yellow

And remember: you can create anything at all that you'd like, as long as you're using your favorites from the colors above. Oh, and below:
