This week for the Speedy's Friends challenge #20, Joanne Travis gave the challenge to do FALL COLORS. That is just perfect as I love to work with those rich colors.
From the first time I used this sunflower from Mark's Finest Papers (Mother's Day card, I believe), I've been in love with it. It is so easy to color and cut out. My coloring today is a bit different to show that the flower is on its last showing of pretty oranges and yellows and is fading fast. I've added some microbeads to the center. Would someone tell me why I keep using them....so messy. I have a 'love, hate' relationship going on here. I guess I love them more than I hate the mess. LOL

Thank you so very much for sharing this fabulous card with the Friends of Speedy the Cat in this week's fall colors challenge!!
Benzi this is just awesome. I love that you used purple as a fall color on this card with the sunflower. It just enhances the beauty of your fading Sunflower. Gorgeous work!

Superb card, Benzi. I love autumn colours, and I really like the richness of this and the feeling of different textures. Fab stuff.
I remember you said those beads are all over the place...well, I'm glad you dragged them out of their packaging, 'cause they are PERFECT in the center of this sunflower!
