Global Design Project #501 - A Color Challenge!

 

This week we have a color challenge.  This one was challenging for me...but with the help of the new Spooky Sweet 12 x 12 Specialty DSP I think I pulled it off! 

Here is my card for this week's challenge: 

A fun fold with a belly band was how I chose to attack this challenge.  

Here you will see the DSP panel really did most of the work.  I added the belly band with the embellishment images from the DSP pack. 

When you slide off the belly band: 

I tucked one of the greetings from our ephemera packs!
