The color board is up on the blog for Color Dare Challenge #666, a biweekly challenge that runs through Thursday, September 4, 2025. The requirements are that all three colors must be included in your design. While you are free to use neutrals and gold metallics, no other colors may be introduced.
These gorgeous colors reminded me of autumn, but I wanted to go with a quick birthday card for a neighbor, so that's the direction I went. You are free to take these colors in any direction that you are led.
This card turned out to be a real scrap buster! Shopping my stash for patterned paper scraps paid off. I easily found patterned scraps in all three colors.
The inside was lined with a panel of Very Vanilla, stamped with a few flowers as seen on the card front, and decorated with several strips of patterned paper.
I adore my cat, a dark gray and white male with tuxedo markings. His name is Sluggo. He helped me with this card, and I must give credit. Just look closely at the two horizontal strips. He tried to remove them from the card front while I was out of the room. He is so talented!
The Design Team invites you to join our challenge. Guidelines are available at our CD666 Blog, as well as an array of cards created by the Team.
Thank you for taking a look at my blog - I appreciate your comments.

I remember that paper from Crisp Air, such a nice variety of fall papers. I'll have to pull it out since Fall is just around the corner. Love your layout of card and combination of papers. Very pretty card.
