The uber-talented Kim Crawford is our hostess this week for the Color Throwdown challenge. And she chose a gorgeous combination of colors….just right for the holiday season! By the way, folks, this is the last color challenge for this year. We’re taking a break for the holidays, but will be back with more super challenges after the first of the new year.

I decided to watercolor this wonderful bird image from the Vintage Birds set from Pink Poison. It’s all Joan’s fault! After seeing her card made with the birds, I HAD to have the set! Oh, and don’t laugh at my feeble attempt at a Kittie bow!
