I had to share more photos of this wonderful 21st birthday card.

We are all familiar with those options that come up on the PC - here's a very clever take.

There's so much detail on this card.

Love the way the highlight of red is on the lighthouse, frame and some of the words.

Great work!

Another great use of red as the splash of colour. 

Such a perfectly CAS and perfectly masculine card.

Kathy also does the inside and envelope to match - check it out!

This time we have a splash of green.

Love the clean and crisp layout and the patterns on the papers.

Great guy card!

Another card using green - and it's perfect as the background for a football themed card!

Great work.

The thumbnail display for our colour challenge was really bold and bright with lots of red and blue and splashes of, mostly, yellow and green. It was tough, but we've picked our winners.

WINNER

Before I go, a quick reminder of our current challenge. Our theme is OLYMPICS/SPORTS - which really does give so many possibilities.

As I type this post (8.30pm, 11th August) USA top the medals table with a total of 35 medals, 13 of them being gold. I am, however, delighted to report that Great Britain have moved up the table and now in 8th with a total of 16 medals, 4 of them gold. I hope you're enjoying the games.  Here's a link to the Medal's table at the BBC website.
