Hi! Here's my contribution to the challenge. I am, however, very disappointed in my card, it didn't turn out the way I thought it would! If you have any suggestions on how I can improve this one, please let me know!! Here's the link:
http://joyofstampin.blogspot.com/2009/01/occ-color-challenge.html
